1 Corinthians 7:21-28

21Were you a slave when you were called? That shouldn’t bother you. However, if you have a chance to become free, take it.

22If the Lord called you when you were a slave, you are the Lord’s free person. In the same way, if you were free when you were called, you are Christ’s slave.

23You were bought for a price. Don’t become anyone’s slaves.

24Brothers and sisters, you should remain in whatever circumstances you were in when God called you. God is with you in those circumstances.

25Concerning virgins: Even though I don’t have any command from the Lord, I’ll give you my opinion. I’m a person to whom the Lord has shown mercy, so I can be trusted.

26Because of the present crisis I believe it is good for people to remain as they are.

27Do you have a wife? Don’t seek a divorce. Are you divorced from your wife? Don’t look for another one.

28But if you do get married, you have not sinned. If a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will have trouble, and I would like to spare them from that.
