The husbandman that laboureth (τον κοπιωντα γεωργον). "The toiling tiller of the soil" (γεωργον, from γη and εργω, worker of the earth). See γεωργιον (field) in 1. Corinthians 3:9 and also 1. Corinthians 9:7.

First (πρωτον). As is natural and right.

To partake (μεταλαμβανειν). Old word as in Acts 2:46 to share in. Paul elsewhere uses μετεχω as in 1. Corinthians 9:12.
