No word for Benefits or blessings in the Greek. 7 paraphrases that got it wrong. Shame because some of them claim to be translations.
Most of these are literal or direct translations.
(DLNT 1Cor 9:23) And I am doing all things for the sake of the good-news, in order that I might become a co-partner of it.
(NET 1Cor 9:23) I do all these things because of the gospel, so that I can be a participant in it.
(KJV 1Cor 9:23) And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
(GUV 1Cor 9:23) And I am doing this (on account of) the glad tidings, in order that I may become a fellow–partaker of it.«
(Diaglot 1Cor 9:23) This but I do on account of the glad tidings, that a co–partner of it I may become.
(SLT 1Cor 9:23) And this I do on account of the good news, that I might become a partaker of it.
(YLT 1Cor 9:23) And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;
(1Co 9:23 ASV) And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof.
(1Co 9:23 EMTV) Now this I do for the sake of the gospel, in order that I may become a partaker of it with you.
At this point we can look at the Greek.

Yes, almost all Born Again Christians have a certain level of Discernment that comes with spiritual maturity, but some of more gifted at that than others.
Philippians 1:9 (HCSB)
9 And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment,
Hebrews 5:13-14 (HCSB)
13 Now everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the message about righteousness, because he is an infant.
14 But solid food is for the mature—for those whose senses have been trained to distinguish between good and evil.
Romans 12:2 (HCSB)
2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Well everyone knows I am super saved so that is not the issue for me...it is completely self evident for all to see.
..I might even be promoted soon....but now to keep my salvation and my high status in tact I drove well within the speed limit and I let left space so people could cut in front of me...and smiled all the while.
