1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle (sent one)? Have I not seen Jesus (YHWH saves) our Lord {Kyrion}? Are you⁺ yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord {Kyriō}? 2 Even if I am not an apostle (sent one) to others, surely I am to you⁺. For you⁺ are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord {Kyriō}. 3 This is my defense to those who scrutinize me: 4 Have we no right to food and to drink? 5 Have we no right to take along a believing wife \take along a sister—a wife—/, as do the other apostles (sent ones) and the Lord’s {Kyriou} brothers and Cephas (Peter)? 6 Or are Barnabas (son of encouragement) and I the only apostles who must work for a living \Or is it only Barnabas and I who do not have authority not to work/? 1 Corinthians 9:1-6, Berean Annotated Bible.
