Barnabas and I have the same right to receive financial support that the other apostles have.
1 Corinthians 9:3-7
3 In order to defend myself, this is what I say to those who criticize me by claiming that I do not act like an apostle. 4 As for Barnabas and me, we certainly have the right as apostles to receive from you and other congregations food and drink for our work. [RHQ] 5 We have the same right that the other apostles and the Lord Jesus’ younger brothers and especially Peter have. They all take along a wife who is a believer when they travel various places in order to tell people about Christ. And they have a right that the people whom they work among will support their wives, too. So Barnabas and I certainly have those same rights. [RHQ] 6 It would be ridiculous to think that Barnabas and I are the only apostles who must work to earn money to pay our expenses while we are doing God’s work! [RHQ] 7 Soldiers certainly do not pay their own wages. [RHQ] Those who plant a vineyard would certainly eat some of the grapes when they become ripe. [RHQ] Those who care for sheep would certainly drink the milk from those sheep. [RHQ] Similarly, those who tell others about Christ certainly have a right to receive ◄financial help/food► from the people to whom they preach.
