1 CORINTHIANS 9:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.”
I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. — All Paul's adaptability, self-renunciation, and labor serve the gospel (dia to euangelion). The phrase 'share in its blessings' (summetchos autou genemai = I may become partner of it) suggests that participation in the gospel is itself the reward. Evangelism and Paul's own sanctification are inseparable.
