1 Corinthians 7:17-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ ¶ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let them walk. And so I ordain in all the congregations. {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}

¹⁸ Is anyone called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Is anyone called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing but the keeping of the commandments of God.

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

²¹ Art thou called being a slave? care not for it; but if thou may be made free, use it rather.

²² For he that is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord’s freeman; likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s slave.

²³ Ye are bought with a price; do not make yourselves the slaves of men.

²⁴ Each one, brothers, in that state in which he was called, let him abide with God.
