To become all things to all men? Is it really even that important? I believe the principle behind becoming all things to all men is humility and temperance. Paul was willing to accommodate the conscience of others, that he would not offend them, may build a relation with them to further their faith. He would never break the law of Christ or go against any of Jesus's commands, or even lessen his holiness. When I read through the Scriptures, I see this example in a lot of places.
