1 Corinthians 9:16
| ← 1 Corinthians 9:15 | 1 Corinthians 9:16 (KJV) | 1 Corinthians 9:17 → |
|---|---|---|
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
|
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.
