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.
23 And I do all things for the sake of the glad tidings, that I may be fellow-partaker with them.
24 Know ye not that they who run in the race-course run all, but one receives the prize? Thus run in order that ye may obtain.
25 But every one that contends for a prize is temperate in all things: they then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore thus run, as not uncertainly; so I combat, as not beating the air.
27 But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest after having preached to others I should be myself rejected.
