"For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people."
— 1 Corinthians 9:19, NET Bible
“For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.”
“For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more. ”
“For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.”
“For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.”
“For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.”
“For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.”
For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason for boasting, because I am compelled to do this. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward. But if I do it unwillingly, I am entrusted with a responsibility.
What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights in the gospel.
For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.
To the Jews I became like a Jew to gain the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law(though I myself am not under the law) to gain those under the law.
To those free from the law I became like one free from the law(though I am not free from God’s law but under the law of Christ) to gain those free from the law.
To the weak I became weak in order to gain the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that by all means I may save some.
