²² When I am with those whose consciences bother them easily, I don’t act as though I know it all and don’t say they are foolish; the result is that they are willing to let me help them. Yes, whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him about Christ and let Christ save him. ²³ I do this to get the Gospel to them and also for the blessing I myself receive when I see them come to Christ.

²⁴ In a race everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win.
