18 Bible Verses about Rights

For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church.

Have we not the right to eat and drink? Have we not the right to lead about a sister wife, as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or, have I only, and Barnabas, no right to leave off working? What man ever serves as a soldier, at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit? Or who tends a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? Do I speak these things as a man? Or does not the law, also, say the same?

For though I preach the gospel, I have no cause for boasting; for a necessity is laid upon me; yes, alas for me, if I preach not the gospel. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, an apostolic stewardship has been intrusted to me.
