1 Corinthians 9:22
Douay-Rheims
To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.
Augustine of Hippo
This is correctly interpreted to mean that he, not by lying but by sympathy, brought it about that he enabled their con-version by his own great love which made it seem as though he himself were afflicted with that evil of which he wished to heal them.
