1 Corinthians 7:20-24
New American Standard Bible
20 (A)Each person is to remain in that [a]state in which he was called.
21 Were you called as a slave? Do not let it concern you. But if you are also able to become free, take advantage of that. 22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave, is (B)the Lord’s freed person; likewise the one who was called as free, is (C)Christ’s slave. 23 (D)You were bought for a price; do not become slaves of people. 24 Brothers and sisters, (E)each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called.

New International Version
20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(A)
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person;(B) similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.(C) 23 You were bought at a price;(D) do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.(E)
