1 Corinthians 9:17
_ _ Translate, “If I be doing this (that is, preaching) of my own accord (which I am not, for the ‘necessity’ is laid on me which binds a servant to obey his master), I have a reward; but if (as is the case) involuntarily (Acts 9:15; Acts 22:15; Acts 26:16); not of my own natural will, but by the constraining grace of God; (Romans 9:16; 1 Timothy 1:13-16), I have had a dispensation (of the Gospel) entrusted to me” (and so can claim no “reward,” seeing that I only “have done that which was my duty to do,” Luke 17:10, but incur the “woe,” 1 Corinthians 9:16, if I fail in it). |
1 Corinthians 9:17
Willingly — He seems to mean, without receiving anything. St. Paul here speaks in a manner peculiar to himself. Another might have preached willingly, and yet have received a maintenance from the Corinthians. But if he had received anything from them, he would have termed it preaching unwillingly. And so, in the next verse, another might have used that power without abusing it. But his own using it at all, he would have termed abusing it. A dispensation is intrusted to me — Therefore I dare not refrain. |
