1 Corinthians 9:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory about, 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 dispensing 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.
