'Compelled' in the Bible

I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.

It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.
