1 Corinthians 9:1-3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For Example, I Have The Right To Be Paid As God’s Workman
9 Am[a] I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet indeed I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord— 3 this[b] is my defense to the ones examining me!
