1 Corinthians 9:13-22

13 1Do you not knowG3609 that thoseG3588 who 2performG2038 sacredG2413 servicesG2413 eatG2068 the food of the templeG2413, and thoseG3588 who attendG3918 regularlyG3918 to the altarG2379 haveG4829 their shareG4829 3from the altarG2379? 14SoG3779 alsoG2532 4the LordG2962 directedG1299 thoseG3588 who proclaimG2605 the 5gospelG2098 to 6getG2198 their livingG2198 from the gospelG2098.

15But I have 7usedG5530 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 8my boastG2745 an emptyG2758 one. 16For ifG1437 I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I have nothingG3756 to boastG2745 of, for 9I amG1945 underG1945 compulsionG318; for woeG3759 is me ifG1437 I do not preachG2097 10the gospelG2097. 17For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG3778 voluntarilyG1635, I haveG2192 a 11rewardG3408; but ifG1487 againstG210 my willG210, I have a 12stewardshipG3622 entrustedG4100 to me. 18WhatG5101 thenG3767 is my 13rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 14withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 as 15not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 of my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.

19For though I amG1510 16freeG1658 from allG3956 men, I have madeG1402 myselfG1683 17a slaveG1402 to allG3956, soG2443 that I may 18winG2770 moreG4183. 20 19To the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a JewG2453, soG2443 that I might winG2770 JewsG2453; to thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 20the LawG3551, as underG5259 21the LawG3551 though 22not beingG1510 myselfG846 underG5259 23the LawG3551, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 24the LawG3551; 21to thoseG3588 who are 25withoutG459 lawG459, 26as withoutG459 lawG459, though not beingG1510 withoutG459 the lawG459 of GodG2316 but 27underG1772 the lawG1772 of ChristG5547, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 who are withoutG459 lawG459. 22To the 28weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might winG2770 the weakG772; I have becomeG1096 29allG3956 thingsG3956 to allG3956 menG3956, 30soG2443 that I may by allG3843 meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100.
