To those free from the law I became like one free from the law (though I am not free from God's law but under the law of Christ) to gain those free from the law.

Were you called as a slave? Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity.

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord's freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ's slave.

And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.

A wife is bound as long as her husband is living. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes (only someone in the Lord).

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?

What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights in the gospel.

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.
