ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 9 v19

FREE FROM ALL, SLAVE TO ALL. ORIGEN: The fact that he is completely free makes Paul the exemplary apostle. For it is possible to be free of immorality but a slave to anger, to be free of greed but a slave to boasting, to be free of one sin but a slave to another. COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 3.43.1-5.

WANTING ONLY THEIR SALVATION. AMBROSIASTER: Paul is free from all human claims because he preached the gospel without getting any praise for it and never wanted anything from anyone, except their salvation. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

LOSING A PART TO GAIN ALL. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: So also the blessed Paul “became all things to all men,” not in order that he might gain some sort of advantage but that, with the loss of a part, he might gain all. LETTER 76.
