II Timothy 2:6'

II Timothy 2:6
“The husbandman that labours must be first partaker of the fruits.”
Who is “the husbandman that labours”?
This passage applies to any true minister whose labour—in this case, his formal work or job—is that of a full-time servant in the Church. Such ministers are always to be the first partakers of the fruits. The fruits are the tithes and offerings of God’s people. When tithes arrive, the ministry is cared for first.
