1Corinthians:9:16-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For though I preach the gospel ,
I have nothing to glory of :
for necessity is laid upon me ;
yea ,
woe is unto me ,
if I preach not the gospel !
*
For if I do this thing willingly ,
I have a reward :
but if against my will ,
a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me .
*
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 .
*
For though I be free from all men ,
yet have I made myself servant unto all ,
that I might gain the more .
*
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew ,
that I might gain the Jews ;
to them that are under the law ,
as under the law ,
that I might gain them that are under the law ;
*
To them that are without law ,
as without law , (
being not without law to God ,
but under the law to Christ ,)
that I might gain them that are without law .
*
To the weak became I as weak ,
that I might gain the weak :
I am made all things to all men ,
that I might by all means save some .
*
And this I do for the gospel '
s sake ,
that I might be partaker thereof with you .
