NASB
"Or do only Barnabas and I not have a right to refrain from working?"
— 1 Corinthians 9:6, NASB
“Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?”
“Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working? ”
“Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?”
“Or do only Barnabas and I lack the right not to work?”
“Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this?”
“Or I only and Barnabas, have we no right to take a rest from work?”
“Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?”
My defense to those who examine me is this:
Do we not have a right to eat and drink?
Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
Or do only Barnabas and I not have a right to refrain from working?
Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?
I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things?
For it is written in the Law of Moses, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING." God is not concerned about oxen, is He?
