Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person.

Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.

Were you called being a bondservant? Don't let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ's bondservant.

Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"

For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
