1 Corinthians 9:18-20
EasyEnglish Bible
18 So what kind of pay do I receive? It is this: I do not take any money from people when I tell them God's good news. I do not use all the authority that I could use when I tell God's good news to people.
19 Yes, I am a free man. I am not anybody's slave. But I choose to serve everybody like a slave. I do that so that I can help many more people to believe in Christ. 20 When I was among Jews, I lived like they do, because I wanted to bring Jews to Christ. The Law that God gave to Moses no longer has authority over me. But I chose to obey that Law when I was among Jewish people who obey it. I did that so that I could help them to believe in Christ.

Paul’s Use of His Freedom
19 Though I am free(C) and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,(D) to win as many as possible.(E) 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.(F) To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),(G) so as to win those under the law.
