1 CORINTHIANS 9:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.”
To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. — Symmetrically, among gentiles he becomes like one outside Torah. Again, the disclaimer: though not truly anomos (lawless), he operates within the framework of his audience. The phrase 'under Christ's law' (entomos Christou) suggests that Christ's law (the law of love, of the Spirit) supersedes Mosaic Torah.
