1st Corinthians 9:16-19
(16) For if I am preaching the gospel, it is no credit to me: rather a necessity is laid upon me; because it is a punishment for me if I am not preaching the gospel.
(17) Yet if I do this willingly, I have a reward; if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with an office. What are my wages then? That preaching without pay, I lay a foundation for the gospel;
(18) while none can deprive me of the power which that gospel gives me.
(19) For being free from all, I have enslaved myself to all, so that I might benefit the greatest possible number. |
