1 Corinthians 9:16-23

16For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for 1I am under compulsion; for woe to me if I do not preach 2the gospel. 17For if I do this voluntarily, I have a 3reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a 4commission nonetheless. 18What, then, is my 5reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel 6without charge, so as 7not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

19For though I am 8free from all people, I have made myself 9a slave to all, so that I may 10gain more. 2011To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though 12not being under the Law myself, so that I might gain those who are under the Law; 21to those who are 13without the Law, I became 14as one without the Law, though not being without the law of God but 15under the law of Christ, so that I might gain those who are without the Law. 22To the 16weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become 17all things to all people, 18so that I may by all means save some. 23I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.
