1 Corinthians 9:17

Εἰ γὰρ ἑκὼν τοῦτο πράσσω, μισθὸν ἔχω· εἰ δὲ ἄκων, οἰκονομίαν πεπίστευμαι.
King James Version (KJV)

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

Modern English

If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.

Greek

Εἰ γὰρ ἑκὼν τοῦτο πράσσω, μισθὸν ἔχω· εἰ δὲ ἄκων, οἰκονομίαν πεπίστευμαι.

Ei gar ekōn toyto prassō, misthon echō· ei de akōn, oikonomian pepisteymai.
