I do not mean your own conscience, but the other person’s. For why is my freedom judged by another person’s conscience?
Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people.
Indeed, we are giving careful thought to do what is right, not only before the Lord but also before people.
Give no offence to Jews or Greeks or the church of God,
Stay away from every kind of evil.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed,
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
