1 Corinthians 9:17-23

11/15 ~ From New Testament Letters

  🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)

17 - For if I do this of my own ‘free’ will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, still, I’m entrusted with a stewardship.18 What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, by not making use of my right in the gospel. 19 For I consider myself free from all, and have made myself a servant to all, that I might win all the more. 20 To the Jews I am as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I am as one under the law, that I might win those under the law. {In Jesus, concerning the law, we are not required, we are enabled. Our nature is changed. Jesus in us, and us in him.} 21 To those outside the law I am as one outside the law, not as outside the law of God but under the law of Christ, that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I am weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people {finding common ground} that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them, its blessings. {Where is the hyped up, afterlife mythical threat?}
