So I went down to the potter’s house, and
I saw him working at the wheel. But the
pot he was shaping from the clay was
marred in his hands; so the potter formed
it into another pot, shaping it as seemed
best to him. Then the word of the LORD
came to me. He said, “Can I not do with
you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares
the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the
potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the
law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the
law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I
became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s
law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To
the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to
all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this
for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
