Lord, that I might win more for You.

If I proclaim the gospel,
      this gives me no ground for boasting,
      for an obligation is laid on me,
      and woe betide me if I do not proclaim the gospel!

For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward;
but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.

What then is my reward?
Just this:
      that in my proclamation I may make the gospel free of charge,
      so as not to make full use of my rights in the gospel.

For though I am free with respect to all,
I have made myself a slave to all,
so that I might win more of them.

To the weak I became weak, so that I might win the weak.

I have become all things to all people,
so that I might by any means save some.

I do it all for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.

1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23
