4 Have we [2192] not [3378] power [1849] to eat [5315] and [2532] to drink [4095]?
5 Have we [2192] not [3378] power [1849] to lead about [4013] a sister [79], a wife [1135], as well as [5613] [2532] other [3062] apostles [652], and [2532] as the brethren [80] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] Cephas [2786]?
6 Or [2228] I [1473] only [3441] and [2532] Barnabas [921], have [2192] not [3756] we [2192] power [1849] to forbear [3361] working [2038]?
14 Even [2532] so [3779] hath [1299] the Lord [2962] ordained [1299] that they which preach [2605] the gospel [2098] should live [2198] of [1537] the gospel [2098].
12 If [1487] others [243] be partakers [3348] of this power [1849] over you [5216], are not [3756] we [2249] rather [3123]? Nevertheless [235] we have [5530] not [3756] used [5530] this [5026] power [1849]; but [235] suffer [4722] all things [3956], lest [3363] we should [1325] [5100] hinder [1464] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547].
6 Or [2228] I [1473] only [3441] and [2532] Barnabas [921], have [2192] not [3756] we [2192] power [1849] to forbear [3361] working [2038]?
12 But [1161] as many as [3745] received [2983] him [846], to them [846] gave he [1325] power [1849] to become [1096] the sons [5043] of God [2316], even to them that believe [4100] on [1519] his [846] name [3686]:
10 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he saith [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],)
1 Am [1510] I not [3756] an apostle [652]? am [1510] I not [3756] free [1658]? have I not [3780] seen [3708] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]? are [2075] not [3756] ye [5210] my [3450] work [2041] in [1722] the Lord [2962]?
