Living_Oracles(i)
14 So also, the Lord has appointed them who announce the gospel, to live by the gospel.
15 But I have used none of these privileges; neither have I written these things that it should be done to me: for it were good for me rather to die, than that any one should make my boasting void.
16 For when I declared the gospel, I have nothing to boast of; because necessity is laud upon me: yes, woe awaits me if I declare not the gospel.
17 Now, if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but, if against my will, still I am entrusted with the stewardship.
18 What, then, is my reward? that, when declaring the gospel, I shall exhibit the gospel of Christ without charge, in order that I may not abuse my power in the gospel.
