For I have become all things to all people... Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone... To the Jews I became like a Jew... To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law)... To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law)... To the weak I became weak... Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the offscouring of all things... (1 Corinthians 9:19-22; 1 Corinthians 4:13)
