1 Corinthians 9:17-19
Modern English Version
17 So if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a commission. 18 What is my reward then? Truly that when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, so that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.
19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself servant to all, that I might win even more.

New International Version
17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward;(A) if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.(B) 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,(C) and so not make full use of my rights(D) as a preacher of the gospel.
Paul’s Use of His Freedom
19 Though I am free(E) and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,(F) to win as many as possible.(G)
