1cor 920-22

•  To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might
  win Jews to those who are under the Law, as
  under the Law though not being myself under the
  Law, so that I might win those who are under the
  Law
•  
• to those who are without law, as without law,
  though not being without the law of God but under
  the law of Christ, so that I might win those who
  are without law.
• To the weak I became weak, that I might win the
  weak I have become all things to all men, so
  that I may by all means save some.

1 Peter 315

• but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts,
  always being ready to make a defense to everyone
  who asks you to give an account for the hope that
  is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence
