1 Corinthians 9:13-27
Paul put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.
I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of this boast. Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.
The reward is that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge.
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
Paul preach gospel to get the crown that will last forever, so her beat himself body and make it his slave so that after He has preached to others, he himself will not be disqualified for the pride. (Here is the pride of the world).
Why?
For the gospel's sake this 'free man' willing subjects himself to restrictions laid on him by others in order to win people for Christ.
In a Race: The Isthmian Games( second only to the Olympics) were held every three years at Corinth.
Preaching Gospel is for the love of God, not for any pride, only pride is the crown of heaven. Paul put up with anything and let everyone get gospel free of charge.
Don't be disqualified for the pride after preached to others. For the boastness and proud.
How?
Dear Lord, let me preach you message for your love not for my any pride from the men. Let me more humble to anyone, let anyone real know the good news from Jesus Christ.
