1 Corinthians 9:19
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
9:19. Paul had not shackled the exercise of his rights in the area of food and drink alone (as he had intimated the knowledgeable Christians should do, 8:9-13), but he had applied it to numerous facets of his ministry so that though he was free (eleutheros; cf. 8:9; 9:1) he voluntarily became a slave (cf. Phil. 2:6-7) for the good of others (1 Cor. 10:33) whom he wanted to win (9:22).
