New International Version

1 Corinthians 9:19-24 New International Version (NIV)

19. Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

20. To 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.

21. To 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.

22. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

23. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

24. Do 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.
