1 Corinthians 9:11-18

11 1IfG1487 we sowedG4687 spiritualG4152 thingsG4152 in you, is it tooG3173 muchG3173 ifG1487 we reapG2325 materialG4559 thingsG4559 from you? 12IfG1487 othersG243 shareG3348 the rightG1849 over you, do we not moreG3123? NeverthelessG235, we 2did not useG5530 thisG3778 rightG1849, but we endureG4722 allG3956 thingsG3956 3soG2443 that we will causeG1325 noG3361 G5100 hindranceG1464 to the 4gospelG2098 of ChristG5547. 13 5Do you not knowG3609 that thoseG3588 who 6performG2038 sacredG2413 servicesG2413 eatG2068 the food of the templeG2413, and thoseG3588 who attendG3918 regularlyG3918 to the altarG2379 haveG4829 their shareG4829 7from the altarG2379? 14SoG3779 alsoG2532 8the LordG2962 directedG1299 thoseG3588 who proclaimG2605 the 9gospelG2098 to 10getG2198 their livingG2198 from the gospelG2098.

15But I have 11usedG5530 noneG3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778. And I am not writingG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 soG3779 that it will be doneG1096 soG3779 in my caseG1722; for it would be betterG2570 G3123 for me to dieG599 thanG2228 have anyG5100 man makeG2758 12my boastG2745 an emptyG2758 one. 16For ifG1437 I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I have nothingG3756 to boastG2745 of, for 13I amG1945 underG1945 compulsionG318; for woeG3759 is me ifG1437 I do not preachG2097 14the gospelG2097. 17For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG3778 voluntarilyG1635, I haveG2192 a 15rewardG3408; but ifG1487 againstG210 my willG210, I have a 16stewardshipG3622 entrustedG4100 to me. 18WhatG5101 thenG3767 is my 17rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 18withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 as 19not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 of my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.
