Bei, simi ye da ternak oto aprau na sa te sepo dambere werai wande ne na kong te na anipei? BSB BSB: Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit?

BSB BSB: For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?

E seraibra kna damba da a te da merapiki, gandum ne te kanipa asonainya mendo pepoi dambere wande gandum ne na yu te baya dawenai orunainya mendo pepoi dambere da ne na kembari te ne nei yereu poi damba.

Nederaitie, de ye sasyaisi te damane atamete de seraibra injil Kristus a sena tena baipa na saripipei. BSB BSB: If others have this right to your support, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not exercise this right. Instead, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 PBY Beamane te we ye aroipei ne yo seraibra kembari pepoi waro te da teme mro mro dambere, Awa mang tetero ne nei mie yau mie bait Allah nepe re na munu sa te ourai anai?

BSB BSB: To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.
21 PBY Damane ne seraibra a yeko hukum taurat ambainya, de ye a yeko hukum taurat mane da wera Awa mang tetero ne na hukum nemane da keu, nederaitie Kristus ne na hukum eiyu ne nepere de ye ne seraibra te orutepine eiyu pa da menai ne na a yeko hukum taurat ambai keipei.
