1 Corinthians 9:15-18

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.
