1 Corinthians 9:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
16 For if I am announcing-the-good-news, it is not[a] a boast for me, for a necessity[b] is lying-upon[c] me; for woe is to me if I do not announce-the-good-news. 17 For if I am practicing this of-my-own-will, I have a reward; but if not-of-my-own-will, I have been entrusted a stewardship[d]. 18 What then is my reward? That while announcing-the-good-news, I might place the good-news free-of-charge, so as not to make-full-use-of my right in[e] the good-news.
