1 Corinthians 7:17-24 - Various Situations Of Life

¹⁷ But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live--and thus I order in all the churches. ¹⁸ Was anyone called [after] being circumcised? He must not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called in uncircumcision? He must not become circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. ²⁰ Each one in the calling in which he was called--in this he should remain. ²¹ Were you called [while] a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if indeed you are able to become free, rather make use of [it]. ²² For the one who is called in the Lord [while] a slave is the Lord's freedperson. Likewise the one who is called [while] free is a slave of Christ. ²³ You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. ²⁴ Each one in [the situation] in which he was called, brothers--in this he should remain with God.
