1 Corinthians 7:20

Compare all

18 Was anyone called while circumcised? ^aLet him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.

19 ^aCircumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but ^bkeeping the commandments of God is what matters.

20 Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.

21 Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it.

22 For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is ^athe Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is ^bChrist’s slave.

23 ^aYou were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

24 Brethren, let each one remain with ^aGod in that state in which he was called.
