New Life Version
1 Corinthians 9:5-7
New Life Version
5 Do we not have the right to take a Christian wife along with us? The other missionaries do. The Lord’s brothers do and Peter does. 6 Are Barnabas and I the only ones who should keep working for a living so we can preach?
7 Have you ever heard of a soldier who goes to war and pays for what he needs himself? Have you ever heard of a man planting a field of grapes and not eating some of the fruit? Have you ever heard of a farmer who feeds cattle and does not drink some of the milk?

1 Corinthians 9:5-7
New International Version
5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife(A) along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers(B) and Cephas[a]?(C) 6 Or is it only I and Barnabas(D) who lack the right to not work for a living?
7 Who serves as a soldier(E) at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard(F) and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?
