Matthew 10:10

 Matthew 10:10

Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

a. NLT: Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.

b. NIV: no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.

c. YLT: nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff -- for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

d. Amplified Bible: And do not take a provision bag or a [a]wallet for a collection bag for your journey, nor two undergarments, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the workman deserves his support (his living, his food).

e. Worrell Translation: nor wallet for your journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer is worthy of his food.
