1 Corinthians 9:15-18 But I am not used in one of these; nor on this account have I thus written, that so it should be done unto me: for it were better for me that dying I should die, than that any man my glorying should make void.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ But I am not used in one of these; nor on this account have I thus written, that so it should be done unto me: for it were better for me that dying I should die, than that any man my glorying should make void. ¹⁶ Yet also in preaching I have no cause to glory: for necessity lieth upon me; for woe to me unless I preach! ¹⁷ For if with my will I do this, I have a reward. But if without my will, (yet) a stewardship is confided to me. ¹⁸ What, then, is my reward? That while preaching without expenses I may perform the annunciation of the Meshiha, and not abuse the power that is given to me in the gospel.
