What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

Τις ποτε εκστρατευει με ιδια αυτου εξοδα; Τις φυτευει αμπελωνα και δεν τρωγει εκ του καρπου αυτου; η τις ποιμαινει ποιμνιον και δεν τρωγει εκ του γαλακτος του ποιμνιου;

Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
