To the Jews I became like a Jew to gain the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law) to gain those under the law.

For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,

but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God,

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.
