Or is it I only and Barnabas who have not power to forbear working?
Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working?
Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to stop doing manual labor [in order to support our ministry]?
Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from doing manual labor for a livelihood [in order to go about the work of the ministry]?
Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

Or I alone and Barnabas— do not we have the right not to be working?
Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?
And are Barnabas and I the only ones who must work to earn our living?
Barnabas and I seem to be the only leaders who must work at other jobs. We should not need to do that!
Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have no right to be spared from manual labor?
Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

Aren’t we allowed to eat and drink? May we not travel with a Christian wife like the other messengers, like other Christian brothers, and like Cephas? Are Barnabas and I the only ones not allowed to leave their ordinary work to give time to the ministry?

Or do only Barnabas and I not have authority to refrain from working?

And must Barnabas and I alone keep working for our living while you supply these others?
I’m not shy in standing up to my critics. We who are on missionary assignments for God have a right to decent accommodations, and we have a right to support for us and our families. You don’t seem to have raised questions with the other apostles and our Master’s brothers and Peter in these matters. So, why me? Is it just Barnabas and I who have to go it alone and pay our own way? Are soldiers self-employed? Are gardeners forbidden to eat vegetables from their own gardens? Don’t dairy farmers get to drink their fill from the pail?

Or do only Barnabas and I lack the right not to work?
Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who have to do other work for a living? Are we the only ones who can’t just do the work of apostles all the time?
Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?
Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?
Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?

or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority -- not to work?
