1 Corinthians 9:16
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!”
εὐαγγελίζω
To bring good news, to proclaim the gospel. Euaggelizo. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. The Gospel is news not advice. It announces what has happened.
