1 Corinthians 9:13-22

13Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

14In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

15But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.

16For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship.

18What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

19For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.

20To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law.

21To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law.

22To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.
