If we have worked, should we not be entitled to eat and drink? Surely. As every other human being, these basic needs need to be maintained. Yet, the Apostle Paul did not insist his basic right to food and drink to maintain human life. He did not insist even on his right. He explained in Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
