1 Corinthians 9:17-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:

18. What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

19. For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

20. And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:

21. To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law.

22. To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.

23. And I do all things for the gospel's sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.

24. Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.
