Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 9:6

6 Or I onely, and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? .

Are I and Barnabas the alone Apostles, who are obliged for our livelihood to work with our hands? As Paul did, Acts 18.3. making Tents. We certainly, as well as the rest of the Apostles, if we would run out to the utmost end of the line of our liberty in things, without having any regard to the circumstances of our brethren, might forbear working with our hands, and expect that those amongst whom we labour, should maintain us.
