19 Porque, estando eu livre de todos, me fiz servo de todos, para ganhar [ainda] mais.

20 E me fiz como judeu para os judeus, para ganhar aos judeus; como que estivesse debaixo da Lei, para os que estão debaixo da Lei, para ganhar aos que estão debaixo da Lei.

21 Ao que estão sem Lei, como se estivesse sem Lei ( [porém] não estando sem Lei para com Deus; mas para com Cristo debaixo da Lei), para ganhar os que estão sem Lei.

22 Me fiz de fraco para os fracos, para ganhar aos fracos; tudo me fiz para todos, para por todos os meios vir a salvar a alguns.

23 E isto eu faço por causa do Evangelho, para que eu também dele seja participante.
