If i

For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable according to what one may have, and not according to what he has not.

but without your consent I did not wish to do anything; in order that your good might not be by constraint, but by the free will:

shepherdize the flock of God which is among you, not coercively, but willingly, for the sake of God; not for filthy lucre, but cheerfully.

Have

But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive the reward of a prophet; and the one receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive the reward of a righteous man.

Dispensation

For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I may not preach the gospel.

So let a man consider us, as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Behold, I have foretold you.

The Lord said, Who then is the faithful, wise steward, whom the lord will establish over his house-hold, to give them their food in season?

but on the contrary, seeing that I am intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, like Peter of the circumcision,

the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

whose minister I became, according to the economy of God which was given to me unto you, to fulfill the word of God,

but as we were approved of God that the gospel should be intrusted unto us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who is proving our hearts,

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.

General references

Likewise also, when you may do those things which are commanded you, say that, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
