1 Corinthians 9:2-6
New American Standard Bible
King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
3This is my answer to those who question my authority.
4Don’t we have the right to live in your homes and share your meals?
5Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter does?
6Or is it only Barnabas and I who have to work to support ourselves?
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?
New International Version
3This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me.
4Don't we have the right to food and drink?
5Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas?
6Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?
