| 16 | For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! |
| 17 | For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission. |
| 18 | What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel. |
| 19 | For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. |
