1 Corinthians 7:21-28

1. 21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

2. 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.

3. 23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

4. 24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

5. 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.

6. 26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

7. 27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

8. 28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
