20 Let each of you remain in the situation[a] in which he was called. 21 Were you called while a slave? Don’t let it concern you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity.[b] 22 For he who is called by the Lord as a slave(A) is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave. 23 You were bought(B) at a price; do not become slaves of people. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person is to remain with God in the situation in which he was called.
