1 Corinthians 9:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for (A)I am under compulsion; for woe to me if I do not preach (B)the gospel. 17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a (C)reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a (D)commission nonetheless. 18 What, then, is my (E)reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel (F)without charge, so as (G)not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:16-18
New International Version
16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.(A) Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward;(B) if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.(C) 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,(D) and so not make full use of my rights(E) as a preacher of the gospel.
