1 CORINTHIANS 9:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
“To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. — The culminating principle: Gignōmai panta pasin (I have become all things to all people). Paul identifies this as soteriological (hina pantōs tinas sōsō = to save some by all possible means). Complete adaptability in external matters serves the singular goal of conversion. This is not unprincipled opportunism but principled renunciation for others' sake.
