1 Corinthians 9:4-14 Have we not the right to eat and drink?

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Have we not the right to eat and drink? ⁵ Have we not the right to lead about a sister wife, as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? ⁶ Or, have I only, and Barnabas, no right to leave off working? ⁷ What man ever serves as a soldier, at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit? Or who tends a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? ⁸ Do I speak these things as a man? Or does not the law, also, say the same? ⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses: You shall not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain? Has God a care for oxen? ¹⁰ or does he say it wholly for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, it was written: that he that plows should plow in hope, and that he that thrashes should thrash in hope of partaking. ¹¹ If we have sown, for your benefit, things that are spiritual, is it a great thing that we reap your carnal things? ¹² If others partake of this right over you, should not we rather? But we have not used this right: but we endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of the Christ. ¹³ Do you not know that those who are engaged about sacred rites have their living from the temple? and that those who attend upon the altar are partakers with the altar? ¹⁴ So, also, the Lord has ordained that those who preach the gospel should live by the gospel.
