Verse 17
17. For Literally translated For if willing I do this, I have a reward; if unwilling, with a stewardship am I intrusted.
By willing, here, is meant a willingness not enforced by the necessity and the woe, but free and enterprising, ready to sacrifice rights and perquisites. By unwilling, is meant a reluctant and obligated consent from fear of penalty.
A reward For the heartiness and the sacrifices resulting.
A dispensation A stewardship; an obligation sustained by penalty to discharge the sacred office remains, with a correspondent low blessing upon him.
