1 Corinthians 7:17-24

17Let each one live his life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called him. This is what I command in all the churches.

18Was anyone already circumcised when he was called? He should not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised.

19Circumcision does not matter and uncircumcision does not matter. Keeping God’s commands is what matters.

20Let each of you remain in the situation in which he was called.

21Were you called while a slave? Don’t let it concern you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity.

22For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.

23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of people.

24Brothers and sisters, each person is to remain with God in the situation in which he was called.
