1 Corinthians 9:5-7
New Living Translation
5 Don’t we have the right to bring a believing wife[a] with us as the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers do, and as Peter[b] does? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who have to work to support ourselves?
7 What soldier has to pay his own expenses? What farmer plants a vineyard and doesn’t have the right to eat some of its fruit? What shepherd cares for a flock of sheep and isn’t allowed to drink some of the milk?
