1. Am I not free? Am I not an emissary? Haven’t I seen Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?
2. If to others I am not an emissary, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my office of emissary in the Lord.
3. My defense to those who examine me is this.
4. Have we no right to eat and to drink?
5. Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the emissaries, and the brothers of the Lord, and Kefa?
6. Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
