1. Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?
2. If I’m not an apostle to others, at least I am to you! You are the seal that shows I’m an apostle.
3. This is my defense against those who criticize me.
4. Don’t we have the right to eat and drink?
5. Don’t we have the right to travel with a wife who believes like the rest of the apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?
6. Or is it only I and Barnabas who don’t have the right to not work for our living?
