1 Corinthians 9:3
King James Version
“Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,”
Context
1Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
