1 Corinthians 9:17

Εἰ γὰρ ἑκὼν τοῦτο πράσσω, μισθὸν ἔχω· εἰ δὲ ἄκων, οἰκονομίαν πεπίστευμαι.
Ei gar ekōn toyto prassō, misthon echō· ei de akōn, oikonomian pepisteymai.
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.
