1 Corinthians 9:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 But I have (A)used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case, for it would be better for me to die than have anyone make (B)my boast an empty one. 16 For if I proclaim the gospel, I have nothing to boast, for (C)I am under compulsion. For woe is me if I do not proclaim (D)the gospel. 17 For if I do this voluntarily, I have a (E)reward; but if against my will, I have a (F)stewardship entrusted to me. 18 What then is my (G)reward? That, when I proclaim the gospel, I may offer the gospel (H)without charge, so as (I)not to make full use of my authority in the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:15-18
English Standard Version
15 But (A)I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone (B)deprive me of my ground for boasting. 16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For (C)necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with (D)a stewardship. 18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching (E)I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
