- 9:22 With the weak I became weak, to win over the weak. To all people I have become all things, so that one way or another I may save some. 25
- 9:27 Rather, I punish my body with blows and treat it as my servant, so that after preaching to others I will not myself be found disqualified. 16
- 9:24 Do you not know that every runner in the stadium races, yet only one is given the prize? Run like that one, so as to win it. 9
- 9:26 That is how I run: not like a runner unsure of the finish. That is how I box: not like a fighter swinging at empty air. 7
- 9:19 No one has any claim on me, yet I have become everyone's slave, so as to win over a greater number. 5
- 9:25 Every competitor holds back from many things in training. They accept this to win a wreath that soon withers; we, to win one that never decays. 5
- 9:16 Preaching the gospel gives me no reason to be proud, for I am under compulsion. It will go hard with me if I do not preach the gospel! 4
- 9:2 Others may not count me as an apostle, but to you I certainly am one. For you yourselves, in the Lord, are the seal that proves my apostleship. 3
- 9:20 And so to the Jews I became as a Jew, to win Jews over. For the sake of those under the law I became as one under the law, though I am not myself under the law, to win over those under the law. 3
- 9:21 To those without the law I became as one without the law, to win over those without the law. Yet I am not without God's law; I live within the law of Christ. 3
- 9:1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not what my work in the Lord has produced? 1
- 9:5 Surely we have the right to take a believing wife with us on our travels, as the other apostles do, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? 1
- 9:7 Who ever serves in an army and pays his own costs? Who plants a vineyard and eats none of its grapes? Who tends a flock and gets none of its milk? 1
- 9:9 For in the law of Moses it is written, "Do not muzzle an ox that is threshing grain." Is it oxen that God is concerned about here? 1
- 9:11 We sowed among you the things of the Spirit. Is it so much to ask, then, that we reap from you the things the body needs? 1
- 9:15 But I have not made use of any of these rights. I have not written this to have it done for me. I would rather die than that. No one will take away my reason to be proud! 1
- 9:23 Everything I do is for the gospel's sake, so that I may have my share in it together with them. 1
