1Ti 5:18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.

Luk 10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

Dave I am well aware that the section about the ox is Paul quoting the OT ..That is not the point.

Paul quotes Luke in that a laborer is worthy of his hire

So Paul quotes both the OT and Jesus through Luke

OK, sorry.

Not necessarily. I could see if he picked out a whole verse or passage. But there is no proof that one is "quoting" the other. "The laborer being worthy of reward" is simply a restatement of the proverb about the ox.

Besides, if Paul attests to Luke, using luke to sttest to Paul is circular.
