14 If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. DRB
11 for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; 12 and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw — 13 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; 14 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive; 15 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. Young's Literal Translation
That’s as close as I could come up with, if that helps. And that scene takes place in Heaven, at the Bema seat of Christ.
It is not dangerous pride to recognize when one is gifted with evangelical ability, confirmed through several sources. In fact it would be dangerous pride to fail to use it.
How about subjecting the perverts to your witness?
And you know, Google is a really good concordance. Are you lazy?
I mean I really get DISGUSTED with Christians or “Christians” (sometimes they’re just mincing liberals who are culturally offended at something) who take the lights that God has issued to them and just HIDE THEM under a bushel basket.
And so does Jesus.

Ma'am you're playing wiffle ball in a grand slam major baseball league. Why?
Backing away slowly now. Not making eye contact.......
Well yes, you’ve been gospel gazed upon.
And if that can happen to YOU when you get gospel gazed upon... imagine what could happen to a pervert....
But it’s so funny. You tell people that God loves them so much that they can get the power to stare the devil down...
And they don’t run TO you. They run FROM you! Until they realize who you are and what you are about.
Witnessing to perverts can cause a chain reaction to the good. Teach one of them that they can drive off the satanic messengers of evil desires, and it’ll catch on....
