But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૯:૧૫
પણ એવો કશો વહીવટ મેં નથી કર્યો; મને એવા લાભ મળે તે માટે હું આ લખું છું એવું નથી. કેમ કે કોઈ મારું અભિમાન કરવાનું કારણ વ્યર્થ કરે, એ કરતાં મરવું તે મારે માટે બહેતર છે.
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों ९:१५
परन्तु मैं इनमें से कोई भी बात काम में न लाया, और मैंने तो ये बातें इसलिए नहीं लिखीं, कि मेरे लिये ऐसा किया जाए, क्योंकि इससे तो मेरा मरना ही भला है; कि कोई मेरा घमण्ड व्यर्थ ठहराए।

In context

13Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?

14Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.

15But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.

16For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News.

17For 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.
