<p>9:21 <i>To them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law- </i>Whilst Paul was &quot;not under the Jewish law&quot; (:20), he clarifies that this does not mean that he is in total &quot;without law to God&quot;. God's law is now not the law of Moses, but the law of Christ. The law of Christ is to bear each others' burdens (Gal. 6:2). This was what Paul was doing by trying to relate to others in the burdens they carried, even if those burdens were a self-imposed attempt to keep the Jewish law. He has used the slavery metaphor in :19, saying that he was a slave to all men's salvation; but that is the same as being under the law of Christ, whose passion is the salvation of all men<i>.</i></p>
