2. If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
3. My defense to those who examine me is this:
4. Do we have no right to eat and drink?
5. Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
6. Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?
7. Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?
