1 Corinthians 7:17-26
-
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
-
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any 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 every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
-
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
-
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
-
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
-
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
-
25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
-
26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
