1 Corinthians 9:15-17

Darby Translation

¹⁵ But *I* have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for [it were] good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

¹⁶ For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.

¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with an administration.
