1 Corinthians 9:3-6

New Living Translation

³ This is my answer to those who question my authority.^{[a] 4} Don’t we have the right to live in your homes and share your meals? ⁵ Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife^[b] with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter^[c] does? ⁶ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have to work to support ourselves?
