1 Corinthians 9:17-19
New Life Version
17 If I do this because I want to, I will get my reward. If I do not want to do it, I am still expected to do it. 18 Then what is my reward? It is when I preach the Good News without you paying me. I do not ask you to pay me as I could.

1 Corinthians 9:17-19
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)
