1 Corinthians 9:17

MSG

NIV

17 If this was my own idea of just another way to make a living, I'd expect some pay. But since it's not my idea but something solemnly entrusted to me, why would I expect to get paid?
17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.
