1 Corinthians 9:13-22
13Know ye not that they that minister about sacredG2413 things eatG2068 of the things of the temple, and they that wait upon the altarG2379 have their portion with the altarG2379?
14EvenG2532 so did the LordG2962 ordain that they that proclaimG2605 the gospelG2098 should liveG2198 of the gospelG2098.
15But I have usedG5530 noneG3762 of these thingsG3778: and I writeG1125 not these thingsG3778 that it may be soG2443 done in my case; for it were goodG2570 for me ratherG3123 to dieG599, than that any manG3778 should make my glorying voidG2758.
16For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessityG318 isG1510 laid upon me; for woeG3759 isG1510 unto me, if I preach not the gospel.
17For if I do this of mine own will, I have a rewardG3408: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardshipG3622 intrusted to me.
18What thenG3767 isG1510 my rewardG3408? That, when I preach the gospelG2098, I may make the gospelG2098 without charge, soG2443 as not to use to the full my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.
19For though I wasG1510 freeG1658 from all men, I brought myself under bondageG1402 to all, that I might gainG2770 the moreG4183.
20And to the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a JewG2453, that I might gainG2770 JewsG2453; to them that areG1510 under the lawG3551, as under the lawG3551, not beingG1510 myself under the lawG3551, that I might gainG2770 them that areG1510 under the lawG3551;
21to them that areG1510 without lawG459, as without lawG459, not beingG1510 without lawG459 to GodG2316, but under lawG459 to ChristG5547, that I might gainG2770 them that areG1510 without lawG459.
22To the weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might gainG2770 the weakG772: I am becomeG1096 all thingsG3956 to all men, that I may by all meansG3843 saveG4982 some.
