Having shown from everyday life (1 Corinthians 9:7) and from the law (1 Corinthians 9:8–10) that a minister of the gospel has the right to be supported by the church, Paul now applies this principle to himself and Barnabas. Since they have sown spiritual things
(by proclaiming and teaching the gospel), they have the right to reap material things
(having their daily needs provided for by the church).
11 Si nous avons semé parmi vous les biens spirituels, est-ce une grosse affaire si nous moissonnons vos biens temporels?
