1 Corinthians 9:17

Paul Gives Up His Rights As An Apostle

¹⁶ For if I proclaim the gospel, it is not to me a reason for boasting, for necessity is imposed on me. For woe is to me if I do not proclaim the gospel. ¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if [I do so] unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. ¹⁸ What then is my reward? That [when I] proclaim the gospel, I may offer the gospel free of charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
