1 Corinthians 7:20-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ Each person should remain in the life situation^[a] in which he was called. ²¹ Were you called while a slave? It should not be a concern to 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.^[c] Likewise he who is called as a free man^[d] is Christ’s slave. ²³ You were bought^(B) at a price; do not become slaves of men. ²⁴ Brothers, each person should remain with God in whatever situation he was called.
