1 Corinthians 9:12-18

12If othersG243 partakeG3348 of this rightG1849 over you, should not ratherG3123 we? But we have not usedG5530 this rightG1849, but we bear all thingsG3778, that we may put no hindrance in the way of the glad tidings of the ChristG5547.

13Do ye not know that they who labour [at] sacredG2413 things eatG2068 of the [offerings offered in the] temple; they that attend at the altarG2379 partake with the altarG2379?

14So alsoG2532 the LordG2962 has ordained to those that announce the glad tidings to liveG2198 of the glad tidings.

15But I have usedG5530 noneG3762 of these thingsG3778. NowG1161 I have not writtenG1125 these thingsG3778 that it should be thusG3779 in my case; for [it were] goodG2570 for me ratherG3123 to dieG599 than that any oneG3762 should make vain my boastG2745.

16For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boastG2745 of; for a necessityG318 isG1510 laid upon me; for it isG1510 woeG3759 to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.

17For if I do this voluntarily, I have a rewardG3408; but if not of my own will, I am entrustedG4100 with an administrationG3622.

18What isG1510 the rewardG3408 thenG3767 that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless [to others], soG2443 as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my rightG1849 in [announcing] the glad tidings.
