1 Corinthians 7:17-24

17RegardlessG1487G3361, each oneG1538 should leadG4043 the life that theG3588 LordG2962 has assignedG3307 to him and to which GodG2316 has calledG2564 him. ThisG3779 is what I prescribeG1299 inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 churchesG1577. 18Was a manG5100 already circumcisedG4059 when he was calledG2564? He should not become uncircumcisedG3361G1986. Was a manG5100 still uncircumcisedG1722G203 when calledG2564? He should not be circumcisedG3361G4059. 19CircumcisionG4061 isG1510 nothingG3762 andG2532 uncircumcisionG203 isG1510 nothingG3762. KeepingG5084 God’sG2316 commandmentsG1785 is what counts.

20EachG1538 one should remainG3306 inG1722 theG3588 situationG2821 he was inG3739 when he was calledG2564. 21Were you a slaveG1401 when you were calledG2564? Do not let it concernG3361G3199 youG4771—butG235 ifG1487 you canG1410 gainG1096 your freedomG1658, take the opportunityG5530. 22ForG1063 he whoG3588 was a slaveG1401 when he was calledG2564 byG1722 the LordG2962 isG1510 the Lord’sG2962 freedmanG558. ConverselyG3668, he whoG3588 was a free manG1658 when he was calledG2564 isG1510 Christ’sG5547 slaveG1401.

23You were boughtG59 at a priceG5092; do notG3361 becomeG1096 slavesG1401 of menG444. 24BrothersG80, each oneG1538 should remainG3306 inG1722 theG3778 situation he was inG1722 when God called himG2564G3844G2316.
