1 Corinthians 9:15

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that something be done for me. Indeed, I would rather die than let anyone nullify my boast.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G1161} I{G1473} have used{G5530}{(G5662)} none{G3762} of these things{G5130}:{G1161} neither{G3756} have I written{G1125}{(G5656)} these things{G5023}, that{G2443} it should be{G1096} so{G3779} done{G1096}{(G5638)} unto{G1722} me{G1698}: for{G1063} it were better{G3123} for me{G3427} to die{G599}{(G5629)}{G2570}, than{G2228} that{G2443} any man{G5100} should make{G2758} my{G3450} glorying{G2745} void{G2758}{(G5661)}.

The F.O.G*
[15] But I haven't used any of these rights, and I'm not writing this to start now. I'd rather die than have anyone deprive me of this boast of serving freely!
The F.O.G Paraphrase
