1 Corinthians 9:16-18 For if I preach the good news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good news.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ For if I preach the good news, it is not a source of pride for me, for an obligation is laid upon me. And woe is to me if I do not preach the good news. ¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward, but if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with a commission. ¹⁸ What then is my reward? That, while preaching the good news, I may make the good news of the Christ without charge, in order not to make full use of my right in the good news.
