1 Corinthians 7:21-28

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.

25Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I do give an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is faithful.

26Because of the present distress, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

28However, if you do get married, you have not sinned, and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.
