21
Were you a slave? Slavery is no roadblock to obeying and believing. I don't mean you're stuck and can't leave. If you have a chance at freedom, go ahead and take it.
21
Were you called while a slave? It should not be a concern to you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity.
1 Corinthians 7:21 In-Context
19
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.
20
Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
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; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.
23
You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
