1 Corinthians 9:12-23

12 If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more?

Nevertheless, ^awe have not made use of this right, but we endure anything ^brather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that ^cthose who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings? 14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that ^dthose who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.

15 But ^eI have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone ^fdeprive me of my ground for boasting. 16 For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For ^gnecessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with ^ha stewardship. 18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching ⁱI may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

19 For ^jthough I am free from all, ^kI have made myself a servant to all, that I might ^lwin more of them. 20 ^mTo the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To ⁿthose outside the law I became ^oas one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but ^punder the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 ^qTo the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. ^rI have become all things to all people, that ^sby all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, ^tthat I may share with them in its blessings.

1 Corinthians 10:33

33 just as ^uI try to please everyone in everything I do, ^vnot seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.

1 Corinthians 14:26

Orderly Worship

26 What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has ^wa hymn, ^xa lesson, ^ya revelation, ^za tongue, or ^aaan interpretation. ^abLet all things be done for building up.

2 Corinthians 5:13

13 For if we ^acare beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

2 Corinthians 10:8

8 For even if I boast a little too much of ^adour authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.

2 Corinthians 13:10

10 For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come ^aeI may not have to be ^afsevere in my use of ^agthe authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
