For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel.<\/p>\n<p>For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law\u2014though not being myself under the law\u2014that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law\u2014not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ\u2014that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.<\/p>\n<p>Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air; but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;1 Corinthians 9:16-27<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2018Bora da\u2019 &#x1f601;&#x1f4f8;&#x1f3f4;&#xe0067;&#xe0062;&#xe0077;&#xe006c;&#xe0073;&#xe007f;&#x1f308;<br \/>\u2018Good morning\u2019 &#x1f601;&#x1f4f8;&#x1f3f4;&#xe0067;&#xe0062;&#xe0077;&#xe006c;&#xe0073;&#xe007f;&#x1f308;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sixteenthCgirl?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sixteenthCgirl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AledHall?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AledHall<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hooson21?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@hooson21<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ItsYourWales?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ItsYourWales<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ruth_ITV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Ruth_ITV<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bootlegger1974?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bootlegger1974<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StormHour?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@StormHour<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThePhotoHour?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ThePhotoHour<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sianharries_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sianharries_<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HCynwal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HCynwal<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EleriSion?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EleriSion<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LouiseTalks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LouiseTalks<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DerekTheWeather?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DerekTheWeather<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/S4Ctywydd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@S4Ctywydd<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hawley_caroline?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@hawley_caroline<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/carolkirkwood?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@carolkirkwood<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qjooQtm1Ga\">pic.twitter.com\/qjooQtm1Ga<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Llelo Gruffudd (@Llelo2801) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Llelo2801\/status\/1710195884590325837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 6, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting.
