1 Corinthians 9:15–23

¹⁵But ^eI have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make ^fmy glorying void. ¹⁶For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing ^fto glory of: for ^gnecessity is laid upon me; ^hyea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! ¹⁷For if I do this thing willingly, I have ⁱa reward: but if against my will, ^ka dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. ¹⁸What is my ⁱreward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, ^lI may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I ^mabuse not my power in the gospel. ¹⁹For though I be ⁿfree from all men, yet have ^oI made myself servant unto all, that I might ^pgain the more. ²⁰And ^qunto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might ^pgain the Jews; ^qto them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might ^pgain them that are under the law; ^21rto them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but ^sunder the law to Christ,) that I might ^pgain them that are without law. ^22tTo the weak became I as weak, that I might ^pgain the weak: ^oI am made all things to all men, that I might by all means ^usave some. ^23vAnd this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
