14. So, too, has the Lord ordained that those who announce the Gospel should live by the Gospel.
15. Yet I have used none of these things. And I have not written so that these things may be done for me. For it is better for me to die, rather than to let anyone empty out my glory.
16. For if I preach the Gospel, it is not glory for me. For an obligation has been laid upon me. And woe to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.
17. For if I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if I do this reluctantly, a dispensation is granted to me.
