  2. 18What then is my reward? That when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
  3. 19For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

  5. 21to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
