Ministry Last Trumpet (Ministerio Ultima Trompeta)

The First Fruits

The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.

For the Scripture says, "Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain," and "The worker deserves his wages."

Thanks for your support

Who ever goes to war at his own expense?

Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit?

Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?

Do I say these things as a mere man?

Or does not the law say the same also?

For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.”

Is it oxen God is concerned about? Or does He say it altogether for our sakes?

For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.

If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?

If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more?

Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?

Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are
moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.
Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
