'Means' in the Bible

To the weak I became weak in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some of them.

Am I suggesting that an offering made to idols means anything, or that an idol itself means anything?

In the Law it is written, "By means of foreign languages and through the mouths of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me," declares the Lord.

and if the Messiah has not been raised, then our message means nothing and your faith means nothing.
