By speaking in this way, he means that he is required to do something. If your readers would misunderstand this figure of speech, you could use a comparable metaphor or express the idea non-figuratively.

He would experience **woe**, with the implication that this **woe** will come from God. If your readers would misunderstand **woe be to me**, you could use a word or phrase that expresses the expectation of bad things to come.

He knows that he does indeed **preach the gospel**. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true.

He means that he might **do this willingly**, or he might do it **unwillingly**. He specifies a result for each option, but he implies that he does it **willingly**. If your readers would misunderstand this form, you could express the **if** statements in a natural way in your language, such as by introducing them with “whenever.” Alternate translation: “whenever I do this willingly … whenever unwillingly” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]]) +1CO 9 17 d7l9 figs-hypo εἰ…ἑκὼν τοῦτο πράσσω…εἰ…ἄκων 1 if I do this willingly Here Paul uses **if** to introduce two possibilities. He means that he might **do this willingly**, or he might do it **unwillingly**. He specifies a result for each option, but he implies that he does it **unwillingly** (see the “compulsion” in [9:16](../09/16.md)).

If your readers would misunderstand **willingly** and **unwillingly**, you could express the idea by using two contrasting words that refer to whether someone wants to do something or not.

Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (**I do this**). If your language does need these words, you can supply them from that clause.
