3 This is my answer to those who examine me.
4 Do we have no right to eat and to drink?
5 Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife as do other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?
7 Who goes to war at any time at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, but does not eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, but does not drink of the flock’s milk?
8 Do I say these things as a man? Or does the law not say the same thing also?
9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox while it treads out the grain.” Is God concerned about oxen?
