    15 But I have not made use of any of these rights, and I am not writing this to make it happen for me. I would rather die than let anyone deprive me of my reason for boasting.

    16 For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to do so. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

    17 If I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if unwillingly, I am simply entrusted with a responsibility.

    18 What then is my reward? It is that when I preach the gospel, I may offer it free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

    19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to everyone, so that I might win more of them.

    20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law, I became like one under the law, even though I myself am not under the law, to win those under the law.

    21 To those without the law, I became like one without the law (not being without God’s law but under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

    22 To the weak, I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that by all possible means I might save some.
