Paul & Changing Social Conditions

"The apostle Paul recognized the changing social conditions of his day, and resolved that he would become " all things to all men" in order that he might "save some." (1 Cor.9:22)

But this sugges­tive elasticity of his methods did not involve any change in his themes of gospel preaching.

He moved amid the luxury and splendor of Ephesus, Cor­inth, and Rome, but never did he bor­row the sensational and the artificial through which to present the won­ders of the cross of Christ.

By daily death to the things of the world, his spiritual perception was undimmed, and an overwhelming passion for souls controlled him."
