To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law( though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law.

When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law— though I myself am not under the law— to win those under the law.

Paul wanted to take him along on the journey. So he circumcised Timothy because of the Jews who lived in that area. They all knew that Timothy’s father was a Greek.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the authority of the law.

When they heard this, they praised God. Then they spoke to Paul.“ Brother,” they said,“ you see that thousands of Jews have become believers. All of them try very hard to obey the law.They have been told that you teach Jews to turn away from the Law of Moses. You teach this to the Jews who live among the Gentiles. They think that you teach those Jews not to circumcise their children. They think that you teach them to give up our Jewish ways.What should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.So do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a promise to God.Take them with you. Join them in the Jewish practice that makes people pure and‘ clean.’ Pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that these reports about you are not true in any way. They will know that you yourself obey the law.We have already given written directions to the believers who are not Jews. They must not eat food that has been offered to statues of gods. They must not drink blood. They must not eat the meat of animals that have been choked to death. And they must not commit sexual sins.”The next day Paul took the men with him. They all made themselves pure and“ clean” in the usual way. Then Paul went to the temple. There he reported the date when the days of cleansing would end. At that time the proper offering would be made for each of them.

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

He came to set free those who were under the authority of the law. He wanted us to be adopted as children with all the rights children have.

Sin will no longer control you like a master. That’s because the law does not rule you. God’s grace has set you free.What should we say then? Should we sin because we are not ruled by the law but by God’s grace? Not at all!

Paul stayed in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters and sailed for Syria. Priscilla and Aquila went with him. Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae. He did this because he had made a promise to God.

You who want to be under the authority of the law, tell me something. Don’t you know what the law says?

Paul went into the synagogue as he usually did. For three Sabbath days in a row he talked with the Jews about the Scriptures.He explained and proved that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead.“ This Jesus I am telling you about is the Messiah!” he said.
