21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

A soul winner will find a common ground to start from to build a relationship, like Paul mentioning the unknown God in Athens. but he used it as a tool to preach the gospel without actually coming down to their level. That is how I think of it anyway.
