I am free and don’t belong to anyone. But I have made myself a slave to everyone. I do it to win as many as I can to Christ.

我虽是自由的，无人辖管；然而我甘心作了众人的仆人，为要多得人。

我虽然是自由的，不受人管辖，但我甘心作了众人的仆人，为赢得更多的人。

我虽然是自由的，不受人管辖，但我甘心作了众人的仆人，为赢得更多的人。

我虽然自由，不受任何人管辖，但我自愿成为众人的奴仆，为的是要多得一些人。

我诚然是自由的，不属于任何人，但我使自己成为所有人的奴仆，为了赢得更多的人。

蓋我於眾雖為自由、而自役於眾、致獲人愈多、

我原不役於眾、而甘為眾役、致眾獲救、

我原自由、不為人轄、而甘為眾役、為欲得眾、

夫吾乃自由之人、眾人不得而奴焉；顧甘自為眾人之奴者何也、亦欲感化眾人、使最大多數棄邪歸正而已矣。

Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.

Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ.

Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.

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

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;

For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

Although I am a free man and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to live under the power of sin. Instead, serve one another in love.

“ If your brother or sister sins against you, go to them. Tell them what they did wrong. Keep it between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them back.

Don’t be like that. Instead, anyone who wants to be important among you must be your servant.And anyone who wants to be first must be your slave.Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.”

Each of us should please our neighbors. Let us do what is good for them in order to build them up.

My brothers and sisters, suppose one of you wanders away from the truth. And suppose someone brings that person back.Then here is what I want you to remember. Anyone who keeps a sinner from going astray will save them from death. God will erase many sins by forgiving them.

To the Jews I became like a Jew. That was to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one who was under the law. I did this even though I myself am not under the law. That was to win those under the law.To those who don’t have the law I became like one who doesn’t have the law. I did this even though I am not free from God’s law. I am under Christ’s law. Now I can win those who don’t have the law.To those who are weak I became weak. That was to win the weak. I have become all things to all people. I have done this so that in all possible ways I might save some.

So I put up with everything for the good of God’s chosen people. Then they also can be saved. Christ Jesus saves them. He gives them glory that will last forever.

Wives, follow the lead of your own husbands. Suppose some of them don’t believe God’s word. Then let them be won to Christ without words by seeing how their wives behave.

Follow my example. I try to please everyone in every way. I’m not looking out for what is good for me. I’m looking out for the interests of others. I do it so that they might be saved.

I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash one another’s feet.I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.

Be careful of how you live and what you believe. Never give up. Then you will save yourself and those who hear you.

The message we preach is not about ourselves. Our message is about Jesus Christ. We say that he is Lord. And we say that we serve you because of Jesus.

I have a duty both to Greeks and to non- Greeks. I have a duty both to wise people and to foolish people.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus our Lord? Aren’t you the result of my work for the Lord?

The fruit that godly people bear is like a tree of life. And those who are wise save lives.

Christ has set us free to enjoy our freedom. So remain strong in the faith. Don’t let the chains of slavery hold you again.

Wife, how do you know if you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know if you will save your wife?

I hope somehow to stir up my own people to want what you have. Perhaps I can save some of them.
