9:19a Though I am free of obligation to anyone,

For although I am free and a slave to no one,
-or-
Nobody owns me,

9:19b I make myself a slave to everyone,

I act like everybody’s slave,
-or-
but I work as if everybody owns me,

9:19c to win as many as possible.

so that by my help, many people will follow ⌊Christ⌋.
-or-
so that I will cause as many people as I can ⌊to believe in Christ⌋.
