1 Corinthians 9:19 has become one of the most frequently quoted Bible verses over the past 5 years. But do people really understand what the apostle Paul is saying there? Jay Adams has a take on it that is faithful to the analogy of Scripture and 2 Corinthians 6:17 in particular. You can read it here.

I would only add to Jay’s explanation that Paul meant he would not offend by criticizing a particular cultural distinction if it was not, in and of itself, a sinful practice.
