1 Corinthians 9:18 | |
NASB: What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. (NASB ©1995) GWT: So what is my reward? It is to spread the Good News free of charge. In that way I won't use the rights that belong to those who spread the Good News. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. ASV: What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel. BBE: 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. DBY: What is the reward then that I have? That in announcing the glad tidings I make the glad tidings costless to others, so as not to have made use, as belonging to me, of my right in announcing the glad tidings. WEY: What are my wages then? The very fact that the Good News which I preach will cost my hearers nothing, so that I cannot be charged with abuse of my privileges as a Christian preacher. WBS: What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my power in the gospel. WEB: What then is my reward?
