1 Corinthians 7:21-28

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.

25Now regarding your question about the young women who are not yet married. I do not have a command from the Lord for them. But the Lord in his mercy has given me wisdom that can be trusted, and I will share it with you.

26Because of the present crisis, I think it is best to remain as you are.

27If you have a wife, do not seek to end the marriage. If you do not have a wife, do not seek to get married.

28But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, those who get married at this time will have troubles, and I am trying to spare you those problems.
