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.

19 For though I am (A)free from all men, (B)I have made myself a servant to all, (C)that I might win the more; 20 and (D)to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the [a]law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 (E)to (F)those who are without law, as without law (G)(not being without [b]law toward God, but under [c]law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 (H)to the weak I became [d]as weak, that I might win the weak. (I)I have become all things to all men, (J)that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.
