1 Corinthians 9:17
If my preaching is voluntary, I have a reward. But if it is not voluntary, I am still entrusted with a responsibility.
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.
For if I do this of mine own will, I have a reward: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardship intrusted to me.
