1 Corinthians 9:15-23
15But I have 1usedG5530 noneG3762 of theseG3778 thingsG3778. And I have not writtenG1125 theseG3778 thingsG3778 soG2443 thatG2443 it will be doneG1096 soG3779 in my caseG1722; for it would be betterG2570G3123 for me to dieG599 thanG2228 that. NoG3762 oneG3762 shall makeG2758 2my boastG2745 an emptyG2758 one! 16For ifG1437 I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I have nothingG3756 to boastG2745 about, for 3I amG1945 underG1945 compulsionG318; for woeG3759 to 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 been entrustedG4100 with a 6commissionG3622 nonetheless. 18WhatG5101, thenG3767, is my 7rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 8withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 asG1519 9not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 ofG2710 my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.
19For though I amG1510 10freeG1658 from allG3956 peopleG3956, I have madeG1402 myselfG1683 11a slaveG1402 to allG3956, soG2443 thatG2443 I may 12gainG2770 moreG4183. 2013To the JewsG2453 I becameG1096 as a JewG2453, soG2443 thatG2443 I might gainG2770 JewsG2453; to thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 the LawG3551, I became as one underG5259 the LawG3551, though 14not beingG1510 underG5259 the LawG3551 myselfG846, soG2443 thatG2443 I might gainG2770 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 the LawG3551; 21to thoseG3588 who are 15withoutG459 theG459 LawG459, I became 16as one withoutG459 theG459 LawG459, though not beingG1510 withoutG459 theG459 lawG459 of GodG2316 but 17underG1772 the lawG1772 of ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 I might gainG2770 thoseG3588 who are withoutG459 theG459 LawG459. 22To the 18weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might gainG2770 the weakG772; I have becomeG1096 19allG3956 thingsG3956 to allG3956 peopleG3956, 20soG2443 thatG2443 I may by allG3843 meansG3843 saveG4982 someG5100. 23I doG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 for the sakeG1223 of the gospelG2098, soG2443 thatG2443 I may becomeG1096 a fellowG4791 partakerG4791 of it.
