20. When I am with the Jews, I live like a Jew to win Jews. They are ruled by the Law of Moses, and I am not. But I live by the Law to win them.
21. And when I am with people who are not ruled by the Law, I forget about the Law to win them. Of course, I never really forget about the law of God. In fact, I am ruled by the law of Christ.
22. When I am with people whose faith is weak, I live as they do to win them. I do everything I can to win everyone I possibly can.
23. I do all this for the good news, because I want to share in its blessings.
24. You know that many runners enter a race, and only one of them wins the prize. So run to win!
25. Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last for ever.
26. I don't run without a goal. And I don't box by beating my fists in the air.
27. I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won't lose out after telling the good news to others.
