1 Corinthians 9:16-19

16For ifG1437 I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I have nothingG3756 to boastG2745 about, for 1I amG1945 underG1945 compulsionG318; for woeG3759 to me ifG1437 I do not preachG2097 2the gospelG2097. 17For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG3778 voluntarilyG1635, I haveG2192 a 3rewardG3408; but ifG1487 againstG210 my willG210, I have been entrustedG4100 with a 4commissionG3622 nonetheless. 18WhatG5101, thenG3767, is my 5rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 6withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 asG1519 7not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 ofG2710 my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.

19For though I amG1510 8freeG1658 from allG3956 peopleG3956, I have madeG1402 myselfG1683 9a slaveG1402 to allG3956, soG2443 thatG2443 I may 10gainG2770 moreG4183.
