1 Corinthians 7:21-28

21Wast thou calledG2564 being a bondservant? careG3199 not for it: nay, evenG2532 if thou canst becomeG1096 freeG1658, useG5530 it ratherG3123. 22For he that wasG1510 calledG2564 in the LordG2962 beingG1510 a bondservant, isG1510 the Lord’s freedman: likewiseG3668 he that wasG1510 calledG2564 beingG1510 freeG1658, isG1510 Christ’s bondservant. 23Ye were boughtG59 with a priceG5092; becomeG1096 not bondservants of menG444. 24Brethren, let each manG3778, wherein he was calledG2564, therein abideG3306 with GodG2316.

25NowG1161 concerningG4012 virginsG3933 I have no commandmentG2003 of the LordG2962: but I giveG1325 my judgmentG1106, as oneG3588 that hath obtained mercyG1653 of the LordG2962 to beG1510 trustworthyG4103. 26I thinkG3543 thereforeG3767 that this isG1510 goodG2570 by reason of the distressG318 that isG1510 upon us, namely, that it isG1510 goodG2570 for a manG444 to beG1510 as he isG1510. 27Art thou boundG1210 unto a wifeG1135? seekG2212 not to be loosedG3089. Art thou loosedG3089 from a wifeG1135? seekG2212 not a wifeG1135. 28But shouldest thou marryG1060, thou hast not sinnedG264; and if a virginG3933 marryG1060, she hath not sinnedG264. Yet suchG5108 shall have tribulationG2347 in the fleshG4561: and I would spareG5339 you.
