What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the good news, I may make the good news of the Messiah without charge, that I abuse not my power in the good news.
If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but bear all things, lest we should hinder the good news of the Messiah.
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my boasting void.
