17. For if I do this voluntarily I have a reward, but if not voluntarily, I am entrusted with a management.
18. What then is my reward? That in bringing the Good News, I should offer the Good News of Messiah without cost, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
19. For though I am free from all, I made myself a servant to all, in order to win more,
20. and to the Yehuḏim I became as a Yehuḏite, that I might win Yehuḏim; to those who are under Torah, as under Torah, so as to win those who are under Torah;
21. to those without Torah, as without Torah – not being without Torah toward Elohim, but under Torah of Messiah – so as to win those who are without Torah.
22. To the weak I became as weak, so as to win the weak. To all men I have become all, so as to save some, by all means.
23. And I do this because of the Good News, so as to become a fellow-partaker with it.
24. Do you not know that those who run in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to obtain it.
25. And everyone who competes controls himself in every way. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we for an incorruptible crown.
26. Therefore I run accordingly, not with uncertainty. Thus I fight, not as one who beats the air.
27. But I treat my body severely and make it my slave, so that when I have proclaimed to others, I myself might be rejected.
