All things to all men 八面玲瓏 (哥林多前書 9:22)

圖片說明: Paul
圖片版權: V. Gilbert and Arlisle F. Beers

聖經經文

“I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.” “向什麼樣的人,我就作什麼樣的人。無論如 何,總要救些人。 ”(哥林多前書 9:22)

意思

八面玲瓏。

來源及應用

保羅是一個熱心傳揚福音的使徒,足跡遍及歐亞大陸。當他傳教時,他能在法律容許的情況下,向什麼樣的人作什麼樣的人,以迎合不同的文化,增進彼此的友誼,希望他們早日歸信基督。 向什麼樣的人作什麼樣的人,從而取悅了所有人,是很難做到的。所以,這句話更常用於否定語:你不可能討好所有的人(you can’t be all things to all men)。
