    15But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void.

    17For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

    18What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

    19For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more.

    20And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;
