1 Corinthians 9:15-19

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.
