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.
18. And what, then, would be my reward? So, when preaching the Gospel, I should give the Gospel without taking, so that I may not misuse my authority in the Gospel.
19. For when I was a free man to all, I made myself the servant of all, so that I might gain all the more.
