1 Corinthians 9:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ But I have used none of these things. Nor have I written these things that it should be so done to me. For it would be better for me to die, than that anyone should make my exultation void.

¹⁶ For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing in which to exult. For compulsion is laid upon me, and woe is to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.

¹⁷ For if I do it willingly, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, the stewardship is entrusted to me.
