Tools for Witnessing

Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

(James 5:20, KJV) For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

(1 Corinthians 9:10, KJV)
