1 Corinthians 9:20-22

Paul Surrenders His Rights

20 k To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To l those outside the law I became m as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but n under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 o To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. p I have become all things to all people, that q by all means I might save some.
