1 Corinthians 9:1-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

9 Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord?

² And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

³ My defence with them that do examine me is this.

⁴ Have not we power to eat and to drink?

⁵ Have we not power to carry about a woman, a sister, as well as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
