Multi-Version Concordance Thresher (1 Occurrence) 1 Corinthians 9:10 Is God simply thinking about the oxen? Or is it really in our interest that He speaks? Of course, it was written in our interest, because it is His will that when a plough-man ploughs, and a thresher threshes, it should be in the hope of sharing that which comes as the result. (WEY NAS RSV NIV)
