1 Corinthians 9:23
And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

--------------------

1 Corinthians 9:19
For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

1 Corinthians 9:20
And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law.

1 Corinthians 9:21
To those without the law I was as one without the law, not as being without law to God, but as under law to Christ, so that I might give the good news to those without the law.

1 Corinthians 9:24
Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

1 Corinthians 9:25
And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

1 Corinthians 9:26
So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:

1 Corinthians 9:27
But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval.

1 Corinthians 9:12
If others have a part in this right over you, have we not even more? But we did not make use of our right, so that we might put nothing in the way of the good news of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:15
But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

1 Corinthians 9:18
What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.
