With a price, have ye been bought, - do not become bond-servants of men:

For, he who in the Lord was called, being a bond-servant, is, a freed-man of the Lord: in like manner, he that was called being, a freeman, is Christ's bond-servant: -

A bond-servant, wast thou called? let it not cause thee concern; but, if thou canst even become, free, rather use it.

For, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed, - whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, - and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink.
