1 Corinthians 7:18-24

18Was anyG5100 manG5100 calledG2564 when he was already circumcisedG4059? He is not to becomeG1986 uncircumcisedG1986. Has anyoneG5100 been calledG2564 in uncircumcisionG203? 1He is not to be circumcisedG4059. 192CircumcisionG4061 is nothingG3762, and uncircumcisionG203 is nothingG3762, but what matters is 3the keepingG5084 of the commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316. 204EachG1538 person is to remainG3306 in that 5stateG2821 in whichG3739 he was calledG2564.

21Were you calledG2564 as a slaveG1401? Do not let it concernG3199 you. But ifG1487 you are alsoG2532 ableG1410 to becomeG1096 freeG1658, takeG5530G3123 advantageG5530G3123 of that. 22For the one who was calledG2564 in the LordG2962 as a slaveG1401, is 6the Lord’sG2962 freedG558 personG558; likewiseG3668 the one who was calledG2564 as freeG1658, is 7Christ’sG5547 slaveG1401. 238You were boughtG59 for a priceG5092; do not becomeG1096 slavesG1401 of peopleG444. 24BrothersG80 and sisters, 9eachG1538 oneG1538 is to remainG3306 with GodG2316 in that condition in whichG3739 he was calledG2564.
