In this part of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he addresses money and evangelism. Paul defends the belief that a pastor’s livelihood should come from his labor. Paul says he lays down this right, lest he put an obstacle before the gospel.

Paul goes on to describe his approach to evangelism, how he has become all things to all people, in order that he might save some. We tend to fall on one of two sides in evangelism: contextualizers or contenders. We must find a balance between knowing the culture we are in while not compromising the gospel.
