1 Corinthians 9:15-22

15For my part I have used none of these rights, nor have I written these things that they may be applied in my case. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast!

16For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to preach  — and woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

17For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a commission.

18What then is my reward? To preach the gospel and offer it free of charge and not make full use of my rights in the gospel.

19Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.

20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law — though I myself am not under the law  — to win those under the law.

21To those who are without the law, like one without the law — though I am not without God’s law but under the law of Christ — to win those without the law.

22To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.
