1 Corinthians 7:17-24

17Only, let each one live the life which the Lord has assigned him, and to which God has called him [for each person is unique and is accountable for his choices and conduct, let him walk in this way]. This is the rule I make in all the churches.

18Was anyone at the time of his calling [from God already] circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called while uncircumcised? He is not to be circumcised.

19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping the commandments of God.

20Each one should remain in the condition in which he was [when he was] called.

21Were you a slave when you were called? Do not worry about that [since your status as a believer is equal to that of a freeborn believer]; but if you are able to gain your freedom, do that.

22For he who was a slave when he was called in the Lord is a freedman of the Lord, likewise he who was free when he was called is a slave of Christ.

23You were bought with a price [a precious price paid by Christ]; do not become slaves to men [but to Christ].

24Brothers, let each one remain with God in that condition in which he was [when he was] called.
