1 Corinthians 9:19-20

For though I am free, etc. He shows why he used this self denial. In order that he might "gain souls", he was willing to become the servant of all, and to deny himself all things. Unto the Jews I became as a Jew. With Jews he lived as a Jew in order to reach them. He observed their distinctions of meats, kept feasts (Ac 18:21), and circumcised Timothy (Ac 16:3). He observed the law to reach those who kept law.
