Muzzle Not the Ox! 1 Corinthians 9:9

"Muzzle not the ox" is kind of vaguely rhetorically powerful bibley thing that people say about pastor's salaries. But what was the context really pointing to here? Why did Paul bring this up? This OT verse, and Paul's quotation of it, gets low-key half-interpreted throughout the church, and we just can't have that! It's a discussion of justice, in the end, of how you treat your neighbor and what it looks like for us to take on the yoke of Christ. This, and a brief discussion of the effect of bottle rockets on cattle's general well-being.
