1 Corinthians 9:18-20
New Living Translation
18 What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That’s why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News.
19 Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ. 20 When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.

18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,(A) and so not make full use of my rights(B) as a preacher of the gospel.

19 Though I am free(C) and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,(D) to win as many as possible.(E) 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.(F) To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),(G) so as to win those under the law.
