1 Corinthians 9:16-18 For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not. ¹⁷ But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it. ¹⁸ What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.
