1 Corinthians 9:1, 3-18
3 reasons Paul limits his rights and sacrifices his freedoms:
I give up my right to compensation so the Gospel is not hindered.
Hindrances to Gospel advancement: inattentional blindness, inconsistent habits of engagement, impure motives, aversion to sacrificial living, unnecessary cultural barriers
I make myself a slave to win as many as possible.
1 Corinthians 9:20-22
I give up my preferences to become like others to save them.
