1 Corinthians 9:13-22
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.
19For beingG1510 freeG1658 from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gainG2770 the most [possible].
20And I becameG1096 to the JewsG2453 as a JewG2453, in orderG2443 that I might gainG2770 the JewsG2453: to those under lawG3551, as under lawG3551, not beingG1510 myself under lawG3551, in orderG2443 that I might gainG2770 those under lawG3551:
21to those without lawG459, as without lawG459, (not as without lawG459 to 1GodG2316, but as legitimately subject to ChristG5547,) in orderG2443 that I might gainG2770 [those] without lawG459.
22I becameG1096 to the weakG772, [as] weakG772, in orderG2443 that I might gainG2770 the weakG772. To all I have becomeG1096 all thingsG3956, in orderG2443 that at all events I might saveG4982 some.
