In Context

19 For being free from all, I have made myself bondman to all, that I might gain the most possible.

20 And I became to the Jews as a Jew, in order that I might gain the Jews: to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, in order that I might gain those under law:

21 to those without law, as without law, (not as without law to God, but as legitimately subject to Christ,) in order that I might gain those without law.

22 I became to the weak, as weak, in order that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, in order that at all events I might save some.
