1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you⁺ not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet indeed I am to you⁺; for you⁺ are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those examining me: 4 Have we no authority to eat and to drink? 5 Have we no authority to take along a sister—a wife—as also the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas? 6 Or do only I and Barnabas have no authority to work? 1 Corinthians 9:1-6, Berean Literal Bible.
