1 Corinthians 9:5-7

New English Translation

⁵ Do we not have the right to the company of a believing wife, like the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?^{[a] 6} Or do only Barnabas and I lack the right not to work? ⁷ Who ever serves in the army at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not consume its milk?
