1 Corinthians 9:1

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?
