1 Corinthians 9:17-22
King James Version
17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

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)
