1 Corinthians 7:17-24 - Various Situations Of Life
17 Only, everyone must lead the lot assigned him by the Lord; he must go on living the life in which God's call came to him. (Such is the rule I lay down for all the churches). 18 Was a man circumcised at the time he was called? Then he is not to efface the marks of it. Has any man been called when he was uncircumcised? Then he is not to get circumcised. 19 Circumcision counts for nothing, uncircumcision counts for nothing; obedience to God's commands is everything. 20 Everyone must remain in the condition of life where he was called. 21 You were a slave when you were called? Never mind. Of course, if you do find it possible to get free, you had better avail yourself of the opportunity. 22 But a slave who is called to be in the Lord is a freedman of the Lord. Just as a free man who is called is a slave of Christ 23 (for you were bought for a price; you must not turn slaves to any man). 24 Brothers, everyone must remain with God in the condition of life where he was called.
