Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ.

我虽是自由的，无人辖管；然而我甘心作了众人的仆人，为要多得人。

蓋我於眾雖為自由、而自役於眾、致獲人愈多、

我原不役於眾、而甘為眾役、致眾獲救、

我原自由、不為人轄、而甘為眾役、為欲得眾、

夫吾乃自由之人、眾人不得而奴焉；顧甘自為眾人之奴者何也、亦欲感化眾人、使最大多數棄邪歸正而已矣。

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

I am free and don’t belong to anyone. But I have made myself a slave to everyone. I do it to win as many as I can to Christ.

For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.

Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.

For though I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may gain more.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

Although I am a free man and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.

For though I be free from all[ men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.

“ If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.

But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.

My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back,you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.

So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.

In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over

I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.

And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet.I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.

Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.

You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake.

For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.

Am I not as free as anyone else? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus our Lord with my own eyes? Isn’t it because of my work that you belong to the Lord?

The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Don’t you wives realize that your husbands might be saved because of you? And don’t you husbands realize that your wives might be saved because of you?

for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them.
