being circumcised -- was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;

Each in the calling in which he was called -- in this let him remain;

for he who is in the Lord -- having been called a servant -- is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:

each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon earth -- as there are gods many and lords many --
