1 Corinthians 9:15–23

¹⁵But ^cI have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone ^ddeprive me of my ground for boasting. ¹⁶For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For ^enecessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! ¹⁷For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with ^fa stewardship. ¹⁸What then is my reward? That in my preaching ^gI may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

¹⁹For ^hthough I am free from all, ⁱI have made myself a servant to all, that I might ^jwin more of them. ^20kTo the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. ²¹To ^lthose outside the law I became ^mas one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but ⁿunder the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. ^22oTo the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. ^pI have become all things to all people, that ^qby all means I might save some. ²³I do it all for the sake of the gospel, ^rthat I may share with them in its blessings.
