For though I am free from all, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews. To those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law.

To those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

So I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

But I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. And greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he translates, so that the church may receive edification.

however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

On the first day of every week each one of you is to set something aside, saving whatever he has prospered, so that no collections be made when I come.
