1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are 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 the seal of my apostleship in the LORD. 3 My defense to those who examine me in this: 4 do we not have authority to eat and to drink? 5 Do we not have authority to lead about a sister—a wife—as also the other apostles, and the brothers of the LORD, and Cephas? 6 Or do only Barnabas and I have no authority not to work? 1 Corinthians 9:1-6, Literal Standard Version.
