¹⁵ But ^(A)I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for ^(B)it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. ¹⁶ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for ^(C)necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! ¹⁷ For if I do this willingly, ^(D)I have a reward; but if against my will, ^(E)I have been entrusted with a stewardship. ¹⁸ What is my reward then? That ^(F)when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel ^[a]of Christ without charge, that I ^(G)may not abuse my authority in the gospel.
