1 Corinthians 9:19-23

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ I am free and belong to no one. But I make myself a slave to all people to win as many as I can. ²⁰ To the Jews I became like a Jew to win the Jews. I myself am not ·ruled by [subject to; ^Lunder] the law. But to those who are ·ruled by [subject to; ^Lunder] the law I became like a person who is ·ruled by [subject to; ^Lunder] the law. I did this to win those who are ·ruled by [subject to; ^Lunder] the law. ²¹ To those who are without the law [^CGentiles] I became like a person who is without the law. I did this to win those people who are without the law. (But really, I am not without God’s law—I am ·ruled by [^Lunder] Christ’s law.) ²² To those who are weak [^Cin faith; 8:7–13], I became weak so I could win the weak. I have become all things to all people so I could save some of them in any way possible. ²³ I do all this because of the ·Good News [Gospel] and so I can ·share in its blessings [or be a participant in it].
