1 Corinthians 9:22

The weak are those who have extremely sensitive consciences in the area of amoral practices (cf. 1 Corinthians 8:9) such as the Jews. Here the apostle meant unbelievers, as is clear from what he said about them. Paul accommodated himself to their scruples. This policy undoubtedly led some people to conclude that Paul was inconsistent. His superficial inconsistency really manifested a more fundamental consistency. He did everything amoral with a view to bringing people to the Savior. [Note: See H. Chadwick, "’All Things to All Men’ (I Cor. IX. 22)," New Testament Studies 1 (1954-55):261-75.]
