We aim to take text visualization beyond a word-based focus, making it possible to visualize multiple layers of syntactic and semantic patterning across multilingual collections of text data.

Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? 2Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me. 4Don't we have the right to food and drink? 5Don'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? 6Or is it only I and Barnabas who must work for a living? 7Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk? ….

5: Do we not have the right to be accompanied by a wife, as the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
6: Is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

In verse 14, Paul combines the verb ‘to proclaim’ (translated here as “preach”) with ‘the gospel’ used as a noun.
According to Bible scholars, Paul creates a rather rare combination of this verb meaning ‘proclaim’ with the noun for ‘the gospel’.
But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. 13Don't you know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

• “Proclaim” (katagello) frequently takes objects such as “word” (logos), “way” (hodos), “Christ” (christos)
• But it is used only once with “gospel” (euaggelion), in the text studied in the previous scenario– Unique to Pauline discourse

than in the other gospels?); • comparing usage of conditionals in John’s
gospel with those in 1 John (same author) and Galatians (Pauline epistle with the highest frequency of conditionals)
