For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more. And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.read more.
To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
