All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable: all things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I may gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, not myself being under law, that I may gain those under the law;

to those without law, I became as without law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I may gain those without law.

but I keep my body under, and enslave it, lest having preached the gospel to others, I myself may become disapproved.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

For it behooves him to reign until he may put all enemies under his feet.
