Or I only and Barnabas, have not we the right to forbear working?
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 9:6 Go To 1 Corinthians 9
John Chrysostom
AD 407
(See his humility of mind and his soul pure from envy, how he takes care not to conceal him whom he knew to be a partaker with himself in this perfection.) For if the other things be common, how is not this common? Both they and we are apostles and are free, and have seen Christ, and have exhibited the works of Apostles. Therefore we likewise have a right both to live without working and to be supported by our disciples.
