1 CorinthiansSteve Gregg
In 1 Corinthians 9:16-10:33, Paul discusses the importance of self-restraint and avoiding behaviors that may hinder the gospel's spread or cause offense to others. He emphasizes the need to focus on the ultimate goal of winning an imperishable crown and encourages Christians to become servants to all people to win them over and show love. Additionally, he warns against overconfidence and idle avoidance of temptation, and advises being careful and heedful to avoid falling. Ultimately, the passage stresses the importance of seeking the good of others, avoiding causing offense or stumbling, and imitating Christ in one's actions.
