| 14 | ουτως |  | και |  | ο |  | κυριος |  | διεταξεν |  | τοις |  | το |  | ευαγγελιον |  | καταγγελλουσιν |
|  | So |  | also |  | the |  | Lord |  | did order |  | to those |  | the |  | glad tidings |  | announcing, |

εκ |  | του |  | ευαγγελιου |  | ζην |  |
of |  | the |  | glad tidings |  | to live. |  |

| 15 | εγω |  | δε |  | ουδενι |  | εχρησαμην |  | τουτων |  | ουκ |  | εγραψα |  | δε |
|  | But I |  | ♦ |  | none 2 |  | used 1 |  | of these things. |  | Now I did not write |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |

these things |  | that |  | thus |  | it should be |  | with |  | me; |  | [it 2 were] 3 good 4 |  | for 1 |  | for me |  | rather |

αποθανειν |  | η |  | το |  | καυχημα |  | μου |  | ινα |  | τις |  | κενωση |  |
to die, |  | than |  | my 3 boasting 4 |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | that 1 |  | anyone 2 |  | should make void. |  |

| 16 | εαν |  | γαρ |  | ευαγγελιζωμαι |  | ουκ |  | εστιν |  | μοι |  | καυχημα |  | αναγκη |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | I announce the glad tidings, |  | there is not |  | ♦ |  | to 2 me 3 |  | boasting; 1 |  | for necessity |

γαρ |  | μοι |  | επικειται |  | ουαι |  | δε |  | μοι |  | εστιν |  | εαν |  | μη
♦ |  | me 4 |  | is 1 laid 2 upon; 3 |  | woe 6 |  | but 5 |  | to me |  | it is |  | if |  | I should not announce the glad tidings.

| ευαγγελιζωμαι |  |
| ♦ |  |

| 17 | ει |  | γαρ |  | εκων |  | τουτο |  | πρασσω |  | μισθον |  | εχω |  | ει |  | δε |  | ακων |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | willingly |  | this |  | I do, |  | a reward |  | I have; |  | but if |  | ♦ |  | unwillingly |

|  | What |  | then |  | my 2 |  | is 1 |  | ♦ |  | reward? |  | That |  | in announcing the glad tidings |  | without 4 expense 5 |

θησω |  | το |  | ευαγγελιον |  | του |  | χριστου |  | εις |  | το |  | μη |  | καταχρησασθαι |
I 6 should 7 make 8 |  | the 9 |  | glad 10 tidings 11 |  | of 1 the 2 |  | Christ, 3 |  | so as |  | ♦ |  | not |  | using as my own |

τη |  | εξουσια |  | μου |  | εν |  | τω |  | ευαγγελιω |  |
my authority |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | in |  | the |  | glad tidings. |  |

| 19 | ελευθερος |  | γαρ |  | ων |  | εκ |  | παντων |  | πασιν |  | εμαυτον |  | εδουλωσα |  | ινα |
|  | For free |  | ♦ |  | being |  | from |  | all, |  | to all |  | myself |  | I became bondman, |  | that |

τους |  | πλειονας |  | κερδησω |  |
the |  | more |  | I might gain. |  |

to those |  | under |  | law |  | as |  | under |  | law, |  | that |  | those |  | under |  | law |  | I might gain: |  |

|  | to those |  | without law |  | as |  | without law, |  | (not |  | being |  | without law |  | to God, |  | but |  | within law |

χριστω |  | ινα |  | κερδησω |  | ανομους |  |
to Christ,) |  | that |  | I might gain |  | those without law. |  |

| 22 | εγενομην |  | τοις |  | ασθενεσιν |  | ως |  | ασθενης |  | ινα |  | τους |  | ασθενεις |  | κερδησω |

|  | This 2 |  | and 1 |  | I do |  | on account of |  | the |  | glad tidings, |  | that |  | a fellow-partaker |  | with it |

γενωμαι |  |
I might be. |  |

| 24 | ουκ |  | οιδατε |  | οτι |  | οι |  | εν |  | σταδιω |  | τρεχοντες |  | παντες |  | μεν |
|  | Know ye not |  | ♦ |  | that |  | those who |  | in |  | a race-course |  | run |  | all |  | ♦ |

τρεχουσιν |  | εις |  | δε |  | λαμβανει |  | το |  | βραβειον |  | ουτως |  | τρεχετε |  | ινα |
