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

¹⁷ Only, everybody must continue to live in the station which the Lord assigned to him, in that in which God called him. These are my orders in all the churches. ¹⁸ Has a man been called after he was circumcised? He must not try to change it. Has a man been called without being circumcised? He must not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Being circumcised or not being circumcised has no value, but keeping God's commands is important. ²⁰ Everybody must remain in the station in which he was called. ²¹ Were you called while a slave? Stop letting that annoy you. Yet, if you can win your freedom, take advantage of such an opportunity. ²² For the slave who has been called to union with the Lord is the Lord's freedman; in the same way the freeman who has been called is a slave of Christ. ²³ You have been bought and actually paid for; stop becoming slaves to men. ²⁴ Brothers, each one must continue close to God in the very station in which he was called.
