1 Corinthians 9:19–27

¹⁹For though I be ⁿfree from all men, yet have ^oI made myself servant unto all, that I might ^pgain the more. ²⁰And ^qunto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might ^pgain the Jews; ^qto them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might ^pgain them that are under the law; ^21rTo them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but ^sunder the law to Christ,) that I might ^pgain them that are without law. ^22tTo the weak became I as weak, that I might ^pgain the weak: ^oI am made all things to all men, that I might by all means ^usave some. ^23vAnd this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

²⁴Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth ^wthe prize? So ^xrun, that ye may ^yobtain. ²⁵And every man that ^zstriveth for the mastery ^ais temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible ^bcrown; but we an ^cincorruptible. ²⁶I therefore so ^xrun, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that ^ccbeateth the air: ²⁷But ^dI ^ekeep under my body, and ^fbring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, ^gI myself should be ^ha castaway.
