1. Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2. If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3. My defence to them that examine me is this.
4. Have we no right to eat and to drink?
5. Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6. Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working?
