In this class we will discuss 1 Corinthians 9:1–24 and examine the following: Paul defends his apostleship, asserting his right to receive support but choosing to forgo it for the sake of the gospel. He compares himself to an athlete, emphasizing the importance of discipline and preaching voluntarily. Paul adapts to different contexts to win people for Christ, becoming all things to all people. He highlights the reward of sharing the gospel and emphasizes running the race with purpose. The passage underscores Paul's selflessness, commitment to the gospel, and the flexible approach taken for the sake of reaching diverse audiences.
