⁴ have we not authority to eat and to drink?

⁶ nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.

⁸ nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

⁹ not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff -- for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

⁷ `And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy `is' the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

⁷ who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat?

⁸ According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law say these things?

⁹ for in the law of Moses it hath been written, `thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn;' for the oxen doth God care?

¹⁰ or because of us by all means doth He say `it'? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading `ought' of his hope to partake in hope.

¹¹ If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great `is it' if we your fleshly things do reap?

¹² if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

¹³ Have ye not known that those working about the things of the temple -- of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the altar -- with the altar are partakers?

¹⁴ so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live.

⁶ And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things.

⁹ for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;

¹⁷ The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,

¹⁸ for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and `Worthy `is' the workman of his reward.'
