A Pattern of Self-Denial
1 Am aI not an apostle? Am I not free? bHave I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? cAre you not my work in the Lord?
2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are athe seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
4 aDo we have no1 right to eat and drink?
5 Do we have no right to take along1 a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, athe brothers of the Lord, and bCephas?
6 Or is it only Barnabas and I awho have no right to refrain from working?
7 Who ever agoes to war at his own expense? Who bplants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who ctends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?
8 Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also?
