1 Corinthians 9:4-7

4 1 2Do we not have a right to eat and drink? 5 3 4Do we not have a right to take along a 5believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the 6brothers of the Lord, and 7 8Cephas? 6Or do only 9 10Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from 11working? 7Who at any time serves 12as a soldier at his own expense? Who 13plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not 14consume some of the milk of the flock?
