“Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?”
Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas? — Paul extends the claim: other apostles travel with wives; he and Barnabas do not (cf. v. 6). The inclusion of the adelphoi kyriou (Lord's brothers) and Peter (Cephas) establishes that even the closest associates of Jesus enjoy marital support. Paul asserts the right but indicates he exercises it differently.
