20 and ato the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the1 law, that I might win those who are under the law;
21 ato bthose who are without law, as without law c(not being without law toward God, but under2 law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law;
22 ato the weak I became1 as weak, that I might win the weak. bI have become all things to all men, cthat I might by all means save some.
23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.
Striving for a Crown
24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? aRun in such a way that you may1 obtain it.
25 And everyone who competes for the prize1 is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for aan imperishable crown.
26 Therefore I run thus: anot with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.
27 aBut I discipline my body and bbring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become cdisqualified.
