15But I 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 my glorying void.Select 1 Corinthians 9:15
16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!Select 1 Corinthians 9:16
17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.Select 1 Corinthians 9:17
18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.Select 1 Corinthians 9:18
19For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.Select 1 Corinthians 9:19
