Darby Bible Notes

For - These two 'fors' are an example of the rapidity of the apostle's style. To make the sense hang together, we should have to add, in the first case, 'not as a man merely,' or, 'surely it does.' 'For in the law of Moses,' &c.; and, in the second, 'not about the oxen, for for our sakes,' &c. written - See Deut. 25.4.

KJV

9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
