How often do YOU muzzle the ox?Deuteronomy 25:4

Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out thecorn.

1 Corinthians 9:8-10 8Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the

same also? 9For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt notmuzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn.

Doth od ta!e care for oxen? 10"r saith he it altogether for our sa!es? For our sa!es,no dou#t, this is written$ that he that %loweth should%low in ho%e& and that he that thresheth in ho%e should

#e %arta!er of his ho%e.
