If I do it with a good will, I have a reward. But if I do it against my will, an office is committed unto me.

But as it is brothers, if I come back to you and speak ecstatically, what good will I do you, unless I have some revelation or special knowledge or message or teaching to give you?

Again, what good will they be doing who are baptized on behalf of the dead? If it is true that the dead do not rise, why are people baptized on their behalf?

What, then, is my reward? -- that proclaiming good news, without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority in the good news;

Anyone who speaks ecstatically does himself good, but the inspired preacher does a congregation good.

I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live.

Let no one seek {his own good} but the [good] of the other.

And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.

Next, Brothers, I would remind you of the Good News which I told you, and which you received-the Good News on which you have taken your stand,

If I have sown for you the seeds of spiritual good, is it a great thing if I reap from you temporal goods?

If others enjoy such rights over you, have we not a still better claim? But, you say, we have never availed ourselves of this right. No, we will stand anything rather than put any hindrance in the way of the good news of the Christ.

Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.
