- કેમ કે જો હું સુવાર્તા પ્રગટ કરું, તો મારા માટે એ ગર્વનું કારણ નથી; કેમ કે એ મારી ફરજ છે, અને જો હું સુવાર્તા પ્રગટ ન કરું, તો મને અફસોસ છે.

- यदि मैं सुसमाचार सुनाऊँ, तो मेरा कुछ घमण्ड नहीं; क्योंकि यह तो मेरे लिये अवश्य है; और यदि मैं सुसमाचार न सुनाऊँ, तो मुझ पर हाय!
In context
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.
18What then is my reward? That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
