1 Corinthians 7:17-24 - Various Situations Of Life
17 Whatever condition God has allotted to any man, let him go on in the same state he was in when he became a christian: this I give as a standing rule to all churches. 18 does a Jew turn Christian? let him not pretend to be uncircumcised: does a Gentile turn Christian? let him not become circumcised. 19 circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, in comparison of obeying the divine commands. 20 let every man continue in the same state he was in when he turn'd christian. 21 were you called being a slave? be not perplex'd about it; but if you can obtain your freedom, don't refuse it. 22 for the slave that turns christian, is the Lord's freedman: likewise, the freeman that becomes a convert is Christ's servant. 23 have you been redeemed from slavery? then, don't turn slaves. 24 brethren, let every man conscientiously continue in the state he was in when he was converted.
