1 Corinthians 9:5-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 Don’t we have the right to take our wives along with us like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas [a] do? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who don’t have any rights, except to find work to support ourselves?
7 Does a soldier ever serve in the army at his own expense? Does anyone plant a vineyard and not eat the grapes? Does anyone take care of a flock and not drink milk from the sheep?
