1 Corinthians 9:13-22

13Don’t you know that those who perform the holy services eat from the Temple, and those who wait on the altar receive a share at the altar?

14So also the Lord ordered those who proclaim the Good News to get their living from the Good News.

15But I have used none of these things, and I am not writing these things so it will happen this way in my case—for I would rather die than let anyone deprive me of my reason to boast.

16For if I proclaim the Good News, I have no reason to boast—for pressure is put on me and woe to me if I don’t proclaim the Good News!

17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have been entrusted with a commission.

18What then is my reward? That when I preach, I may present the Good News free of charge, not making use of my right in the Good News.

19For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I might win over more of them.

20To the Jewish people I identified as a Jew, so that I might win over the Jewish people. To those under Torah I became like one under Torah (though not myself being under Torah), so that I might win over those under Torah;

21to those outside Torah, like one outside Torah (though not being outside God’s Torah but in Messiah’s Torah), so that I might win over those outside Torah.

22To the weak I became weak, so that I might win over the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all means possible I might save some.
