Paul's Defense of Apostolic Authority and Rights
1 Corinthians 9:1-6
1
Am I not a free man? Am I not an emissary of the Messiah? Haven’t I seen Yeshua our Lord? And aren’t you yourselves the result of my work for the Lord?
2
Even if to others I am not an emissary, at least I am to you; for you are living proof that I am the Lord’s emissary.
3
That is my defense when people put me under examination.
4
Don’t we have the right to be given food and drink?
5
Don’t we have the right to take along with us a believing wife, as do the other emissaries, also the Lord’s brothers and Kefa?
6
Or are Bar-Nabba and I the only ones required to go on working for our living?
