Stay in the same house, eating and drinking what the people there give you. A worker should be given his pay. Don’t move from house to house.
Brothers and sisters, I know you remember our hard work and difficulties. We worked night and day so we would not burden any of you while we preached God’s Good News to you.
Anyone who is learning the teaching of God should share all the good things he has with his teacher.
Don’t carry a bag or extra clothes or sandals or a walking stick. Workers should be given what they need.
When I was with you, I never wanted anyone’s money or fine clothes.
This is the answer I give people who want to judge me:
He will be clean only after the sun goes down. Then he may eat the holy offerings; the offerings are his food.
