1 Corinthians 9:15-18 But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void. ¹⁶ For if I announce the good news, there is no boasting to me: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I announce not the good news! ¹⁷ For if of free will I do this, I have reward: and if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. ¹⁸ What reward therefore is to me? That announcing good news, I shall make the good news of Christ not expensive, not to make use of my power in the good news.
