19 我虽然是自由之身,不受任何人支配,但我甘愿成为众人的奴仆,为了要得到更多的人。 20 面对犹太人我就做犹太人,为了要赢得犹太人。面对守律法的人,我这不受律法束缚的人就守律法,为了要赢得守律法的人。 21 面对没有律法的人,我就像个没有律法的人,为了要赢得没有律法的人。其实我并非在上帝的律法之外,我是在基督的律法之下。 22 面对软弱的人我就做软弱的人,为了要得软弱的人。面对什么人,我就做什么人,为了要尽可能地救一些人。 23 我做的一切都是为了福音的缘故,为了要与人分享福音的祝福。

24 你们不知道吗?在运动场上赛跑的人虽然个个都在跑,但冠军只有一个。同样,你们也要努力奔跑,好获得奖赏。 25 参加比赛的选手要接受严格的训练,以求赢得桂冠,但这桂冠终必朽坏,我们要赢得的却是永不朽坏的桂冠。 26 因此,我奔跑不是漫无目标,我击拳不是打空气。 27 我严格训练自己,克服自身的软弱,免得我传福音给别人,自己却被淘汰了。

Paul’s Use of His Freedom

19 Though I am free(A) and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,(B) to win as many as possible.(C) 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.(D) To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),(E) so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law(F) (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),(G) so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.(H) I have become all things to all people(I) so that by all possible means I might save some.(J) 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

The Need for Self-Discipline

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?(K) Run(L) in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown(M) that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.(N) 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly;(O) I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.(P) 27 No, I strike a blow to my body(Q) and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.(R)
