Reading I
1 Cor 9:16-19, 22-23
For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me: for a necessity lieth upon me. For woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel.
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me.
What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.
To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.
And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be made partaker thereof.
