1 Corinthians 9:19-23
Legacy Standard Bible
19 For though I am (A)free from all, I have made myself (B)a slave to all, so that I may (C)win more. 20 (D)And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews. To those who are under [a]the Law, as under [b]the Law though (E)not being myself under [c]the Law, so that I might win those who are under [d]the Law. 21 To those who are (F)without law, (G)as without law, though not being without the law of God but (H)under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. 22 To the (I)weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become (J)all things to all men, (K)so that I may by all means save some. 23 So I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

Common English Bible
19 Although I’m free from all people, I make myself a slave to all people, to recruit more of them. 20 I act like a Jew to the Jews, so I can recruit Jews. I act like I’m under the Law to those under the Law, so I can recruit those who are under the Law (though I myself am not under the Law). 21 I act like I’m outside the Law to those who are outside the Law, so I can recruit those outside the Law (though I’m not outside the law of God but rather under the law of Christ). 22 I act weak to the weak, so I can recruit the weak. I have become all things to all people, so I could save some by all possible means. 23 All the things I do are for the sake of the gospel, so I can be a partner with it.
