¹⁹ For ^(A)though I am free from all, ^(B)I have made myself a servant to all, that I might ^(C)win more of them. ^20 (D)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 ^(E)those outside the law I became ^(F)as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but ^(G)under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. ^22 (H)To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. ^(I)I have become all things to all people, that ^(J)by all means I might save some.

¹⁸ They^[a] said to you, ^(A)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” ¹⁹ It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, ^(B)devoid of the Spirit. ²⁰ But you, beloved, ^(C)building yourselves up in your most holy faith and ^(D)praying in the Holy Spirit, ^21 (E)keep yourselves in the love of God, ^(F)waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. ²² And have mercy on those who doubt; ²³ save others by ^(G)snatching them out of ^(H)the fire; to others show mercy ^(I)with fear, hating even ^(J)the garment^[b] stained by the flesh.
