Paul’s Rights as an Apostle
1
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?
2
Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3
This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me.
4
Don’t we have the right to food and drink?
5
Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas
[a]
?
6
Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?
