1 Corinthians 9:13-22

13Do you not knowG3756G1492 thatG3754 those whoG3588 workG2038 in theG3588 templeG2413 eat ofG2068 its food, and those whoG3588 serveG4332 at theG3588 altarG2379 partakeG4829 ofG3588 its offerings? 14In the same wayG3779G2532, theG3588 LordG2962 has prescribed thatG1299 those whoG3588 preachG2605 theG3588 gospelG2098 should receive their livingG2198 fromG1537 theG3588 gospelG2098. 15ButG1161 IG1473 have not usedG3756G5530 any of theseG3778 rights. AndG1161 I am not writingG3756G1125 thisG3778 to suggest thatG2443 somethingG3779 be doneG1096 forG1722 meG1473. IndeedG1063, IG1473 would ratherG3123G2570 dieG599 thanG2228 let anyoneG3762 nullifyG2758 myG1473 boastG2745.

16YetG1063 whenG1437 I preach the gospelG2097, IG1473 haveG1510 no reasonG3756 to boastG2745, becauseG1063 IG1473 am obligatedG318G1945 to preach. WoeG3759 to meG1473 ifG1437 I do not preach the gospelG3361G2097! 17IfG1487 myG4238 preaching is voluntaryG1635, I haveG2192 a rewardG3408. ButG1161 ifG1487 it is not voluntaryG210, I am still entrusted withG4100 a responsibilityG3622. 18WhatG5101 thenG3767 isG1510 myG1473 rewardG3408? ThatG2443 in preaching the gospelG2097 I may offerG5087 it free of chargeG77, and soG1519 notG3361 use upG2710 myG1473 rightsG1849 inG1722 preaching it.

19ThoughG1063 I amG1510 free of obligationG1658 toG1537 anyoneG3956, I make myself a slaveG1402G1683 to everyoneG3956, toG2443 winG2770 as many as possibleG4119. 20To theG3588 JewsG2453 I becameG1096 likeG5613 a JewG2453, toG2443 winG2770 the JewsG2453. To thoseG3588 underG5259 the lawG3551 I became like one underG5259 the lawG3551 (though I myselfG846 amG1510 notG3361 underG5259 the lawG3551), toG2443 winG2770 thoseG3588 underG5259 the lawG3551. 21To thoseG3588 without the lawG459 I became like one without the lawG459 (though I amG1510 notG3361 outside the lawG459 of GodG2316 butG235 am under the lawG1772 of ChristG5547), toG2443 winG2770 thoseG3588 without the lawG459. 22To theG3588 weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, toG2443 winG2770 theG3588 weakG772. I have becomeG1096 allG3956 thingsG3588 to allG3956 people so thatG2443 by all possible meansG3843 I might saveG4982 someG5100.
