Don't I have the right to be given food and drink for my work?

We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair;

Instead, in everything we do we show that we are God's servants by patiently enduring troubles, hardships, and difficulties.

We have been beaten, jailed, and mobbed; we have been overworked and have gone without sleep or food.

In my many travels I have been in danger from floods and from robbers, in danger from my own people and from Gentiles; there have been dangers in the cities, dangers in the wilds, dangers on the high seas, and dangers from false friends.

There has been work and toil; often I have gone without sleep; I have been hungry and thirsty; I have often been without enough food, shelter, or clothing.

I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learned this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little.

To make a brother repay you the money he owed, you took away his clothes and left him nothing to wear.

Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death?

Some Jews came from Antioch in Pisidia and from Iconium; they won the crowds over to their side, stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, thinking that he was dead.

After a severe beating, they were thrown into jail, and the jailer was ordered to lock them up tight.

The High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing close to Paul to strike him on the mouth.

Are they Christ's servants? I sound like a madman---but I am a better servant than they are! I have worked much harder, I have been in prison more times, I have been whipped much more, and I have been near death more often.

three times I was whipped by the Romans; and once I was stoned. I have been in three shipwrecks, and once I spent twenty-four hours in the water.

my persecutions, and my sufferings. You know all that happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, the terrible persecutions I endured! But the Lord rescued me from them all.

Jesus answered him, "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest."
