1 Corinthians 9:15-23

15But I have 1usedG5530 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 betterG2570G3123 for me to dieG599 thanG2228 have anyG5100 man makeG2758 2my boastG2745 an emptyG2758 one. 16For ifG1437 I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I have nothingG3756 to boastG2745 of, for 3I amG1945 underG1945 compulsionG318; for woeG3759 is me ifG1437 I do not preachG2097 4the gospelG2097. 17For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG3778 voluntarilyG1635, I haveG2192 a 5rewardG3408; but ifG1487 againstG210 my willG210, I have a 6stewardshipG3622 entrustedG4100 to me. 18WhatG5101 thenG3767 is my 7rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 8withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 as 9not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 of my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.

19For though I amG1510 10freeG1658 from allG3956 men, I have madeG1402 myselfG1683 11a slaveG1402 to allG3956, soG2443 that I may 12winG2770 moreG4183. 2013To the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a JewG2453, soG2443 that I might winG2770 JewsG2453; to thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 14the LawG3551, as underG5259 15the LawG3551 though 16not beingG1510 myselfG846 underG5259 17the LawG3551, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 18the LawG3551; 21to thoseG3588 who are 19withoutG459 lawG459, 20as withoutG459 lawG459, though not beingG1510 withoutG459 the lawG459 of GodG2316 but 21underG1772 the lawG1772 of ChristG5547, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 who are withoutG459 lawG459. 22To the 22weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might winG2770 the weakG772; I have becomeG1096 23allG3956 thingsG3956 to allG3956 menG3956, 24soG2443 that I may by allG3843 meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100. 23I doG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 for the sakeG1223 of the gospelG2098, soG2443 that I may becomeG1096 a fellowG4791 partakerG4791 of it.
