1 Corinthians 9:17-27

17For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG3778 voluntarilyG1635, I haveG2192 a 1rewardG3408; but ifG1487 againstG210 my willG210, I have a 2stewardshipG3622 entrustedG4100 to me. 18WhatG5101 thenG3767 is my 3rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 4withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 as 5not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 of my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.

19For though I amG1510 6freeG1658 from allG3956 men, I have madeG1402 myselfG1683 7a slaveG1402 to allG3956, soG2443 that I may 8winG2770 moreG4183. 209To the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a JewG2453, soG2443 that I might winG2770 JewsG2453; to thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 10the LawG3551, as underG5259 11the LawG3551 though 12not beingG1510 myselfG846 underG5259 13the LawG3551, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 14the LawG3551; 21to thoseG3588 who are 15withoutG459 lawG459, 16as withoutG459 lawG459, though not beingG1510 withoutG459 the lawG459 of GodG2316 but 17underG1772 the lawG1772 of ChristG5547, soG2443 that I might winG2770 thoseG3588 who are withoutG459 lawG459. 22To the 18weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might winG2770 the weakG772; I have becomeG1096 19allG3956 thingsG3956 to allG3956 menG3956, 20soG2443 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.

2421Do you not knowG3609 that thoseG3588 who runG5143 in a raceG4712 allG3956 runG5143, but only oneG1520 receivesG2983 22the prizeG1017? 23RunG5143 in suchG3779 a wayG3779 that you may winG2638. 25EveryoneG3956 who 24competesG75 in the gamesG75 exercisesG1467 self-controlG1467 in allG3956 thingsG3956. They thenG3767 do it to receiveG2983 a perishableG5349 25wreathG4735, but we an imperishableG862. 26ThereforeG5106 I 26runG5143 in suchG3779 a wayG3779, as not withoutG84 aimG84; I boxG4438 in suchG3779 a wayG3779, as not 27beatingG1194 the airG109; 27but I 28disciplineG5299 29my bodyG4983 and makeG1396 it my slaveG1396, so that, after I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 will not be disqualifiedG96.
