New Living Translation
1 Corinthians 7:17-24
17Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches.
18For instance, a man who was circumcised before he became a believer should not try to reverse it. And the man who was uncircumcised when he became a believer should not be circumcised now.
19For it makes no difference whether or not a man has been circumcised. The important thing is to keep God’s commandments.
20Yes, each of you should remain as you were when God called you.
21Are you a slave? Don’t let that worry you—but if you get a chance to be free, take it.
22And remember, if you were a slave when the Lord called you, you are now free in the Lord. And if you were free when the Lord called you, you are now a slave of Christ.
23God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.
24Each of you, dear brothers and sisters, should remain as you were when God first called you.
