1 Am I not (C1)free unrestrained and exempt from any obligation? Am I not an (C2)apostle? Have I not (F1)(C3)seen Jesus our risen Lord in person? Are you not the result and proof of (C4)my work in the Lord?

Aren't you yourselves proof of the good work that I've done for the Master? Even if no one else admits the authority of my commission, you can't deny it. Why, my work with you is living proof of my authority!

2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are (e)the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.2 If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the (C1)seal of my (C2)apostleship in the Lord.
2 If others do not accept me as an apostle, surely you do, because you are proof that I am an apostle in the Lord.2 If I am not considered an apostle to others, at least I am one to you; for you are the (C1)seal and the certificate and the living evidence of my (C2)apostleship in the Lord confirming and authenticating it.2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the (C1)seal of my (C2)apostleship in the Lord.2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the (C1)seal of my (C2)apostleship in the Lord.2 Even if I am not an apostle to others, surely I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 Others may think that I am not an apostle, but you are proof that I am an apostle to you. 2 Even if to others I am not an emissary, at least I am to you; for you are living proof that I am the Lord's emissary.2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet at any rate I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are *ye* in [the] Lord. 2 Others may not accept me as an apostle, but surely you do. You are proof that I am an apostle in the Lord.2 If I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet doutlesse I am vnto you: for ye are the seale of mine Apostleship in the Lord.2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet to you I am: for you are the seal of my apostleship. 2 Even if others do not accept me as an apostle, surely you do! Because of your life in union with the Lord you yourselves are proof of the fact that I am an apostle. 2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet indeed I am to you, for you are my seal of apostleship in the Lord. 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet I am indeed to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 2 If to others I am not an Apostle, at least I am one to you: for the fact that you are Christians is the sign that I am an Apostle.2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 If I am not an apostle to other people, surely I am one to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord![xr] 2 And if to others I be not an apostle, yet am I (such) to you; and the seal of my apostleship are you.2 And if I have not been a legate to others, yet I have been so to you; and ye are the seal of my legateship.2 If I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet doubtlesse am I vnto you: For the seale of myne Apostleship are ye in the Lorde.2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 Are not ye my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, yet I am to you; for ye are the seal of my apostleship.2 If to other men I am not an Apostle, yet at any rate I am one to you; for your very existence as a Christian Church is the seal of my Apostleship.2 And thouy to othere Y am not apostle, but netheles to you Y am; for ye ben the litle signe of myn apostlehed in the Lord.2 If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of my apostleship are you in the Lord.2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you, for you are the confirming sign of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 2 Even if others think I am not an apostle, I certainly am to you. You yourselves are proof that I am the Lord's apostle. 2 Other people may not think of me as a missionary, but you do. It proves I am a missionary because you are Christians now. 2 If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.2 If, unto others, I am not an apostle, certainly at least, unto you, I am; for, the seal of my apostleship, ye, are in the Lord.2 And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.2 Are not ye my worke in the lorde. Yf I be not an Apostle vnto other yet am I vnto you. For the seale of myne Apostleshippe are ye in the lorde.2 if to others I am not an apostle -- yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.2 If I am not an apostle to others—yet doubtless I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the LORD.2 Are not ye my worke in the LORDE? Yf I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet am I youre Apostle: for the seale of myne Apostleshippe are ye in the LORDE.2 if I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you: for your being christians is the proof of my apostleship. 2 Others can think what they want about these things, but Jesus chose me to be a ramrod, or an apostle to you. Y'all are proof of this.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
3 Mine answere to them that doe examine me, is this:
3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
3 This is my defense to those who would examine me.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
3 This is the answer I give people who want to judge me:
3 This is my defense to those who would put me on trial and interrogate me concerning my authority as an apostle:
3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
3 This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:
3 When people question me, I tell them 3 That is my defense when people put me under examination.
3 My defence to those who examine me is this:
3 Some people want to judge me. So this is the answer I give them:
3 My defence to them that examine mee, is this,
3 So my answer to those who criticize me is this,
3 When people criticize me, this is how I defend myself: 3 My defense to those who examine me is this:
3 My defense to those examining me is this: 3 My defence to them that examine me is this.
3 My answer to those who are judging me is this.
3 My defense to those who examine me is this.

We who are on missionary assignments for God have a right to decent accommodations, and we have a right to support for us and our families. You don't seem to have raised questions with the other apostles and our Master's brothers and Peter in these matters. So, why me? Is it just Barnabas and I who have to go it alone and pay our own way? Are soldiers self-employed? Are gardeners forbidden to eat vegetables from their own gardens? Don't milkmaids get to drink their fill from the pail?
3 This is my answer to my critics and those who judge me. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this:4 Don’t we have the right to eat and drink?(C1) 4 Haue wee not power to eate and to drinke? 4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 4 (f)Do we not have the right to eat and drink?4 (F1)(C1)Do we not have a right to eat and drink? 4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink? 4 (C1)Have we not the right to our food and drink at the expense of the churches?4 (F1)(C1)Do we not have a right to eat and drink?4 (C1)Do we not have authority to eat and drink?4 Have we no right to food and to drink? 4 that Barnabas and I have the right to our food and drink. 4 Don't we have the right to be given food and drink? 4 Have we not a right to eat and to drink? 4 We have the right to eat and drink, don't we?4 Haue we not power to eat & to drinke?4 Have we not the right to eat and to drink? 4 Don't I have the right to be given food and drink for my work? 4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink? 4 Have we not authority to eat and to drink? 4 Have we no right to eat and to drink? 4 Have we no right to take food and drink?4 Have we no right to eat and to drink? 4 We have the right to eat and drink, don't we?[xr] 4 Have we not authority to eat and to drink ?4 Have we not authority, to eat and to drink?4 Haue we not power to eate and to drinke?4 Have we no right to eat and to drink? 4 Have we no right to eat and to drink? 4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?4 Have we not a right to claim food and drink?4 Whether we han not power to ete and drynke?4 Do we have no right to eat and to drink?4 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 4 Do we not have the right to financial support? 4 Do we have no right to eat and drink? 4 Don't we have the right to live in your homes and share your meals? 4 Do we not have the right to have food and drink when we are working for the Lord? 4 Do we not have the right to our food and drink? 4 Have we not a right to eat and drink?4 Have not we power to eat and to drink?4 Do we not have the right to our food and drink?4 Have we not power to eate and to drynke?4 have we not authority to eat and to drink?4 do we not have authority to eat and to drink?4 Haue we not power to eate and drynke?4 have we not a right to meat and drink? 4 A ramrod has the right to eat and drink, doesn't he? 5 Don’t we have the right to be accompanied by a believing wife(F1) like the other apostles,(C1) the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?(C2) 5 Haue we not power to lead about a sister a wife aswel as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 5 (g)Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife,[a] as do the other apostles and (h)the brothers of the Lord and (i)Cephas?5 (F1)(C1)Do we not have a right to take along a (F2)believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the (C2)brothers of the Lord, and (F3)(C3)Cephas? 5 Do we not have the right to bring a believing wife with us when we travel as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Peter? 5 (C1)Have we not the right to take along with us a believing wife, as do the rest of the apostles and the (C2)Lord's brothers and (C3)Cephas (Peter)?5 (F1)(C1)Do we not have a right to take along a (F2)believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the (C2)brothers of the Lord and (C3)Cephas?5 (C1)Do we not have authority to take along a (F1)believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the (C2)brothers of the Lord and (C3)Cephas?5 Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas(a)? 5 We each have the right to marry one of the Lord's followers and to take her along with us, just as the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Peter[a] do. 5 Don't we have the right to take along with us a believing wife, as do the other emissaries, also the Lord's brothers and Kefa? 5 have we not a right to take round a sister [as] wife, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 5 We have the right to bring a believing wife with us when we travel, don't we?
