1 Corinthians 9:17 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9
15 Pour moi, je n’ai usé d’aucun de ces droits, et ce n’est pas afin de les réclamer en ma faveur que j’écris ainsi; car j’aimerais mieux mourir que de me laisser enlever ce sujet de gloire.
16 Si j’annonce l’Évangile, ce n’est pas pour moi un sujet de gloire, car la nécessité m’en est imposée, et malheur à moi si je n’annonce pas l’Évangile!
17 Si je le fais de bon cœur, j’en ai la récompense; mais si je le fais malgré moi, c’est une charge qui m’est confiée.
18 Quelle est donc ma récompense? C’est d’offrir gratuitement l’Évangile que j’annonce, sans user de mon droit de prédicateur de l’Évangile.
19 Car, bien que je sois libre à l’égard de tous, je me suis rendu le serviteur de tous, afin de gagner le plus grand nombre.
