No Reason to Boast

(Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time)

Today's second reading from St. Paul starts off as follows:

If I preach the gospel, this is no reason for me to boast,
for an obligation has been imposed on me,
and woe to me if I do not preach it!

Last night I took the passage for a spin as follows:

If I live the Gospel, this is no reason for me to boast, for an obligation has been imposed on me, and woe to me if I do not live it!

Seems more relatable. If I live the Gospel, there is no reason for me to boast.
