1 Corinthians 9:1

Verse 1 of 27. The 9th of 16 chapters in 1 Corinthians, in The Letters of Paul.

1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?

2If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

3My defense to those who examine me is this:

4Have we no right to eat and to drink?

5Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
