“Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?”
1 Corinthians 9:5 (BSB)
Context Reading
3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me: 4Have we no right to food and to drink? 5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas? 6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living? 7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
