1 Corinthians 7:21-28

21Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so.

22For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.

23You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.

24Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.

25Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

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

27Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife.

28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
