Season of Epiphany

19	For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more.
20	To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I became as one under the law -- though not being myself under the law -- that I might win those under the law.
21	To those outside the law I became as one outside the law -- not being without law toward God but under the law of Christ -- that I might win those outside the law.
22	To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
23	I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

18	"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19	If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20	Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21	But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me.
22	If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23	He who hates me hates my Father also.
24	If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
25	It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law, `They hated me without a cause.'
