In context

3This is my defense to those who scrutinize me:

4Have we no right to food and to drink?

5Have we no right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?

6Or are Barnabas and I the only apostles who must work for a living?

7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Who tends a flock and does not drink of its milk?
