‏ 1 Corinthians 9:23

 That I may be a joint partaker thereof ( ινα συνκοινωνος αυτου γενωμα ). Literally, That I may become co-partner with others in the gospel. The point is that he may be able to share the gospel with others, his evangelistic passion.  Συνκοινωνος is a compound word ( συν, together with,  κοινωνος, partner or sharer). We have two genitives with it in Php 1:7, though  εν and the locative is used in Re 1:9. It is found only in the N.T. and a late papyrus. Paul does not wish to enjoy the gospel just by himself.
