1 Corinthians
Chapters 9:2-8
Revised Version 1885
2If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3My defence to them that examine me is this.
4Have we no right to eat and to drink?
5Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working?
7What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same?
