18 Bible Verses about Rights

Let the husband give to the wife that which is due, and likewise the wife also to the husband. The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.

Wives, be submissive to your own husbands, as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body. But as the church is submissive to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything.read more.
Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her; in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word, in order that he might present to himself the glorious church, having not spot or wrinkle or any of such things; but that she might be holy and blameless. So the husbands ought to love their own wives with divine love as their own bodies. The one loving his own wife is loving himself: for no one ever yet hated his own flesh; but he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church; because we are members of his body: on account of this a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife: and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak in reference to Christ and the church. Moreover you also each one thus love his own wife with divine love as himself; and that the wife also reverence the husband.

Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.

Then what is my reward? that preaching the gospel, I may render the gospel free from charge, in order that I may not use my right in the gospel.

Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen the Lord Jesus? are you not my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, but I am to you at least: for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. My defence to those calling me in question is this.read more.
Have we not a right to eat and drink? Have we not a right to lead about a sister as a wife, as the other apostles also, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Have I and Barnabas alone not the right to forbear working? Whoever goes to war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard, and does not eat the fruit of it? or who shepherdizes a flock, and does not eat of the milk of the flock? Whether do I speak these things according to a man? or does not the law indeed say these things? For in the law of Moses it has been written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that plows.

For it was written on account of us, That the one plowing ought to plow in hope, and the one threshing in hope of partaking. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? If others partake of your bounty, shall not we the more?

Do you not know that those working in the sacrifices eat those things of the temple; and those serving the altar partake of the altar? So also the Lord has commanded those preaching the gospel to live of the gospel. But I have used none of these things. But I have not written these things that it may be so in me: for it is good for me rather to die than that any one shall make void my boasting. For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I may not preach the gospel. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if unwillingly, I have been intrusted with a dispensation.
