1 Corinthians 9:16-19

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].
