I am made a servant of all,
So that I might win more of them;
For though I am free to enthrall,
Before God decides to condemn.
To the Jews I became a Jew,
I became one under the Law;
For as to win over a few,
That they repent for any flaw.
To those that were outside the Law,
But be under the Law of Christ;
For catching those before they fall,
That to Jesus they be enticed.
Unto the weak I became weak,
Because I have become all things;
By means that I save those who seek,
Showing them what salvation brings.
I do it all for the Gospel,
That I may share in its blessings;
Ensuring to reach the people,
Of God sending His glad tidings.
Do you not know that in a race,
All runners run for just one prize;
Which happens to be an embrace,
Seeing Jesus Christ with his eyes.
Each man strives with a self-control,
Receiving a decaying wreath;
But an incorruptible soul,
For eternal life to bequeath.
So, I do not run aimlessly,
I do not box beating the air;
A fight not an uncertainty,
Rather as a Christian to care.
I discipline to keep control,
Lest after preaching to others;
So that Jesus Christ will console,
All the new sisters and brothers.
