1 Corinthians 9:17 in Context — 1 Corinthians 9
15 Porém eu de nenhuma destas coisas usei; e nem isto escrevi, para que assim se faça comigo; porque melhor me seria morrer, do que esvaecer este meu orgulho.
16 Porque se anunciar o Evangelho, para mim não é orgulho, pois a obrigação me é imposta. E ai de mim, se não anunciar o Evangelho!
17 Porque se eu faço de boa mente, tenho recompensa; mas se eu fizer de má vontade, a responsabilidade me é confiada.
18 Então que recompensa tenho? Que evangelizando, proponha o Evangelho de Cristo sem receber nada de volta, para não abusar do meu poder no Evangelho.
19 Porque, estando eu livre de todos, me fiz servo de todos, para ganhar [ainda] mais.
