1 Corinthians 9:22-23
New Living Translation (NLT)
22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. 23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
Paul gives several important principles for ministry: 1.) find common ground with those you contact; 2.) avoid a know-it-all attitude; 3.) make others feel accepted; 4.) be sensitive to their needs and concerns; and 5.) look for opportunities to tell them about Christ. These principles are just as valid for us as they were for Paul.
