1 Corinthians 9:20

← 1 Corinthians 9:19	1 Corinthians 9:20 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 9:21 →
For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.	And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;	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.

• G2453 — Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaîos, ee-oo-dah'-yos): Jewish — from Ἰουδά (in the sense of Ἰούδας as a country); Judæan, i.e. belonging to Jehudah:--Jew(-ess), of Judæa.
• G2532 — καί (kaí, kahee): and, even, also, namely — apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force; and, also, even, so then, too, etc.; often used in connection (or composition) with other particles or small words:--and, also, both, but, even, for, if, or, so, that, then, therefore, when, yet.

In the comparative, it retains the same general applications, especially of inferior position or condition, and specially, covertly or moderately.
