Do we not have the right to eat and drink? Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Kephas? Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living? Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of the fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk? Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the law say the same? For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.
Is it for oxen that God is concerned? Does he not speak entirely for our sake? It was written for our sake because the ploughman shall plough in hope and the thresher shall thresh in hope and share in the crop.
If we have sown spiritual things among you, Is it too much if we reap material things from you? If others share this rightful claim on you, do we not even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel and of Christ.
Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple? And those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings.
But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision.
For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting, for necessity is laid upon me.
