1 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 9

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 9:21
  
  To those without law I became as without law: The expression “those without law” refers to the Gentiles, or non-Jews, who were not under the Mosaic Law. When witnessing to a Greek audience in Athens, Paul took into account their thinking and spoke about the God unknown to them; he even quoted their own poets.—Ac 17:22-34.
