16: For 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!

17: For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

18: What 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.

19: For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

20: And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

21: To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

22: To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

23: And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
