← 1 Corinthians 9:20	1 Corinthians 9:21 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 9:22 →
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.	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.
