All Things to All People: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
Free. Eleutheros. Paul owed no one. Answered to no one. Belonged to no one.
And yet—I have made myself a slave. Edoulosa—enslaved myself. Voluntary slavery. To everyone. To win as many as possible. The freedom spent for others. The liberty leveraged for evangelism.
To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.
