Context of 1 Corinthians 7:24
22For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave, is the Lord’s freed person; likewise the one who was called as free, is Christ’s slave. 23You were bought for a price; do not become slaves of people. Brothers and sisters, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called. 25Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I am offering direction as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy. 26I think, then, that this is good in view of the present distress, that it is good for a man to remain as he is.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24Let every man - abide with God - Let him live to God in whatsoever station he is placed by Providence. If he be a slave, God will be with him even in his slavery, if he be faithful to the grace which he has received. It is very likely that some of the slaves at Corinth, who had been converted to Christianity, had been led to think that their Christian privileges absolved them from the necessity of continuing slaves; or, at least, brought them on a level…Read the comment

Our comfort and happiness depend on what we are to Christ, not what we are in the world. No man should think to make his faith or religion, an argument to break through any natural or civil obligations…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2424. abide with God--being chiefly careful of the footing on which he stands towards God rather than that towards men.
