1 Corinthians 7:21-28

21Were you called as a slave? Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity.

22For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ’s slave.

23You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of men.

24In whatever situation someone was called, brothers and sisters, let him remain in it with God.

25With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.

26Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are.

27The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage.

28But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, and I am trying to spare you such problems.
