1 Corinthians 7:22-25

English Standard Version

²² For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is ^(A)a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is ^(B)a bondservant of Christ. ^23 (C)You were bought with a price; ^(D)do not become bondservants of men. ²⁴ So, brothers,^{[a] (E)}in whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.

The Unmarried and the Widowed

²⁵ Now concerning^[b] the betrothed,^{[c] (F)}I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as ^(G)one who by the Lord's mercy is ^(H)trustworthy.
