1 Corinthians 9:20-27

LITV(i) 20 And I became as a Jew to the Jews, that I might gain Jews; to those under Law as under Law, that I might gain those under Law; 21 to those without Law as without Law (not being without law of God, but under the law of Christ), that I might gain those without Law. 22 I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, that in any and every way I might save some. 23 And I do this for the gospel, that I might become a fellow partaker of it. 24 Do you not know that those running in a stadium indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain. 25 But everyone striving controls himself in all things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. 26 So I run accordingly, as not uncertainly; so I fight, as not beating air; 27 but I buffet my body and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.
