17 For if I do this willingly, (A)I have a reward; but if against my will, (B)I have been entrusted with a stewardship. 18 What is my reward then? That (C)when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel [a]of Christ without charge, that I (D)may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

Serving All Men

Paul’s Use of His Freedom

19 Though I am free(E) and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,(F) to win as many as possible.(G) 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.(H) To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),(I) so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law(J) (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),(K) so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.(L) I have become all things to all people(M) so that by all possible means I might save some.(N)
