1 Corinthians 9 19-1 Corinthians 9 23
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.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.To those who are without the law, like one without the law— though I am not without God’s law but under the law of Christ— to win those without the law.To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings.

Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
