1 Corinthians 9:20-27
201To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under 2the Law, as under 3the Law though 4not being myself under 5the Law, so that I might win those who are under 6the Law; 21to those who are 7without law, 8as without law, though not being without the law of God but 9under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. 22To the 10weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become 11all things to all men, 12so that I may by all means save some. 23I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.
2413Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives 14the prize? 15Run in such a way that you may win. 25Everyone who 16competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable 17wreath, but we an imperishable. 26Therefore I 18run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not 19beating the air; 27but I 20discipline 21my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
