19 For (C)though I am free from all, (D)I have made myself a servant to all, that I might (E)win more of them. 20 (F)To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To (G)those outside the law I became (H)as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but (I)under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 (J)To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. (K)I have become all things to all people, that (L)by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, (M)that I may share with them in its blessings.
