19Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
-Gospel centered lifestyle. Even though he has freedom he abandons it to save people. Very selfless.
20To 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. 21To 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), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.
-He gets into the lives of all these people so that they might know Christ. He cares so much for them and has a heart for them. I feel very heartless compared to him. Winning people is a kind of heart that I need to pray for more.
23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
-Blessing of the gospel is in sharing it. Winning is a good place to be. Doing nothing is losing. I don't wanna be a loser. Nor should I want the people around me to lose by going to hell either.
