1 Corinthians · Πρὸς Κορινθίους Αʹ

1 Corinthians 9:18

Τίς οὖν μοί ἐστιν ὁ μισθός; Ἵνα εὐαγγελιζόμενος ἀδάπανον θήσω τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς τὸ μὴ καταχρήσασθαι τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ μου ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
Tis oyn moi estin o misthos; Ina eyaggelizomenos adapanon thēsō to eyaggelion toy Christoy, eis to mē katachrēsasthai tē exoysia moy en tō eyaggeliō.
King James Version (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.

Modern English

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