¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a ^(A)reward; but if against my will, I have a ^(B)stewardship entrusted to me. ¹⁸ What then is my ^(C)reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel ^(D)without charge, so as ^(E)not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

¹⁹ For though I am ^(F)free from all men, I have made myself ^(G)a slave to all, so that I may ^(H)win more. ^20 (I)To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under ^[a]the Law, as under ^[b]the Law though ^(J)not being myself under ^[c]the Law, so that I might win those who are under ^[d]the Law; ²¹ to those who are ^(K)without law, ^(L)as without law, though not being without the law of God but ^(M)under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. ²² To the ^(N)weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become ^(O)all things to all men, ^(P)so that I may by all means save some. ²³ I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

^24 (Q)Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives ^(R)the prize? ^(S)Run in such a way that you may win. ²⁵ Everyone who ^(T)competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable ^(U)wreath, but we an imperishable. ²⁶ Therefore I ^(V)run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not ^(W)beating the air; ²⁷ but I ^[e]discipline ^(X)my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
