1 Corinthians 9:5-7
New Testament for Everyone
5 Do we not have the right to take a Christian wife with us on our travels, as the other apostles do, as the Lord’s brothers do, as Cephas does? 6 Or are Barnabas and I the only ones who don’t have the right to be set free from the need to work? 7 Who serves in the army at their own expense? Who plants a vineyard and doesn’t eat its fruit? Who looks after animals and doesn’t drink the milk?
