1 Corinthians 9:20
_ _ I became as a Jew — in things not defined by the law, but by Jewish usage. Not Judaizing in essentials, but in matters where there was no compromise of principle (compare Acts 16:3; Acts 21:20-26); an undesigned coincidence between the history and the Epistle, and so a sure proof of genuineness.
_ _ to them that are under the law, as under the law — in things defined by the law; such as ceremonies not then repugnant to Christianity. Perhaps the reason for distinguishing this class from the former is that Paul himself belonged nationally to “the Jews,” but did not in creed belong to the class of “them that are under the law.” This view is confirmed by the reading inserted here by the oldest manuscripts, versions, and Fathers, “not being (that is, parenthetically, ‘not that I am’) myself under the law.” |
1 Corinthians 9:20
To the Jews I became as a Jew — Conforming myself in all things to their manner of thinking and living, so far as; I could with innocence. To them that are under the law — Who apprehend themselves to be still bound by the Mosaic law. As under the law — Observing it myself, while I am among them. Not that he declared this to be necessary, or refused to converse with those who did not observe it. This was the very thing which he condemned in St. Peter, Galatians 2:14. |
1 Corinthians 9:20
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the (p) law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
(p) The word "law" in this place must be limited to the ceremonial Law. |
- unto:
Acts 16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Acts 17:2-3 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, ... Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
Acts 18:18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Acts 21:20-26 And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: ... Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Galatians 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
