1 Corinthians 9:2-9
English Standard Version
3This is my defense to those who would examine me.
4Do we not have the right to eat and drink?
5Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
6Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?
7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?
