^17 (A)For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, ^(B)not with ^[a]cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made of no effect.

¹⁷ For if I do this voluntarily, I have a ^(A)reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a ^(B)commission nonetheless.

¹¹ according to ^(A)the glorious gospel of ^(B)the blessed God, with which I have been ^(C)entrusted.

²⁴ But ^(A)I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may ^(B)finish my course and ^(C)the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to ^(D)testify solemnly of the gospel of ^(E)God’s grace.
