1 Corinthians 9:16-23

JuliaSmith(i) 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. 19 For being free from all, I have subjected myself to all, that I might gain the more. 20 And I was to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to them under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them under the law; 21 To the lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but subject to the law to Christ,) that I might gain the lawless, 22 I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak: I have been all things to all, that altogether I might save some. 23 And this. I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.
