Galatians 1:10
Galatians 1:10 (NIV)
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
1 Corinthians 9:19-22
19 Though I am freea and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,b to win as many as possible.c 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.d To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),e so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the lawf (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),g so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.h I have become all things to all peoplei so that by all possible means I might save some.j 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), 1 Co 9:19–23.
24 “No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.j
Christian Standard Bible (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2020), Mt 6:24.
