1 Corinthians 7:17-24 - Various Situations Of Life
17 Only whatever be the lot in life to which God has assigned each one??nd whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him??n that let him continue. Such is the rule I give in all the churches. 18 So, was any man called, being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was any man called when he was uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands in everything. 20 Whatever be the condition of life in which he was called, in that let him continue. 21 Were you called in slavery? Let not that trouble you; but if you can become free make use of the opportunity. 22 For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman; and in the same way, the free man who is called is Christ's slave. 23 You have been brought with a price; do not become slaves to men. 24 Where each man stood when he was called, there, brothers, let him stay, close to God.
