16What all growing churches have in common.
17Though I am free and belong to no man, I make
myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as
possible.
18To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.
To those under the law I became like one under
the law (though I myself am not under the law),
so as to win those under the law.
19To those not having the law I became like one not
having the law (though I am not free from God's
law but am under Christ's law), so as to win
those not having the law.
20To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I
have become all things to all men so that by all
possible means I might save some.
21I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I
may share in its blessings.
22Do you not know that in a race all the runners
run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a
way as to get the prize.
23Everyone who competes in the games goes into
strict training. They do it to get a crown that
will not last but we do it to get a crown that
will last forever.
24Therefore I do not run like a man running
aimlessly I do not fight like a man beating the
air.
25No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that
after I have preached to others, I myself will
not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Cor. 919-27
