1 Corinthians 9:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me, for a necessity lieth upon me: for 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 is committed to me:

¹⁸ What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
