1 Corinthians 9:17-18

17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with aa stewardship. 18What then is my reward? That in my preaching bI may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:23

23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, cthat I may share with them in its blessings.

1 Corinthians 9:27

27But I discipline my body and dkeep it under control,
Greek  I pummel my body and make it a slave
lest after preaching to others fI myself should be gdisqualified.
