1 Corinthians 9:17-27
17For ifG1487 I doG4238 thisG3778 voluntarilyG1635, I haveG2192 a 1rewardG3408; but ifG1487 againstG210 my willG210, I have been entrustedG4100 with a 2commissionG3622 nonetheless. 18WhatG5101, thenG3767, is my 3rewardG3408? That, when I preachG2097 the gospelG2097, I may offerG5087 the gospelG2098 4withoutG77 chargeG77, soG1519 asG1519 5not to makeG2710 fullG2710 useG2710 ofG2710 my rightG1849 in the gospelG2098.
19For though I amG1510 6freeG1658 from allG3956 peopleG3956, I have madeG1402 myselfG1683 7a slaveG1402 to allG3956, soG2443 thatG2443 I may 8gainG2770 moreG4183. 209To 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 10not beingG1510 underG5259 the LawG3551 myselfG846, soG2443 thatG2443 I might gainG2770 thoseG3588 whoG3588 are underG5259 the LawG3551; 21to thoseG3588 who are 11withoutG459 theG459 LawG459, I became 12as one withoutG459 theG459 LawG459, though not beingG1510 withoutG459 theG459 lawG459 of GodG2316 but 13underG1772 the lawG1772 of ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 I might gainG2770 thoseG3588 who are withoutG459 theG459 LawG459. 22To the 14weakG772 I becameG1096 weakG772, that I might gainG2770 the weakG772; I have becomeG1096 15allG3956 thingsG3956 to allG3956 peopleG3956, 16soG2443 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.
2417Do you not knowG3609 that thoseG3588 who runG5143 in a raceG4712 allG3956 runG5143, but only oneG1520 receivesG2983 18the prizeG1017? 19RunG5143 inG3779 suchG3779 aG3779 wayG3779 that you may winG2638. 25EveryoneG3956 who 20competesG75 inG75 theG75 gamesG75 exercisesG1467 self-controlG1467 in allG3956 thingsG3956. SoG3767 they do it to obtainG2983 a perishableG5349 21wreathG4735, but we an imperishableG862. 26ThereforeG5106 I 22runG5143 inG3779 suchG3779 aG3779 wayG3779 as not to run aimlesslyG84; I boxG4438 inG3779 suchG3779 aG3779 wayG3779, as 23to avoid 24hittingG1194 airG109; 27but I strictlyG5299 disciplineG5299 25my bodyG4983 and makeG1396 it my slaveG1396, soG3361 thatG3361, after I have preachedG2784 to othersG243, I myselfG846 will notG3361 be disqualifiedG96.
