1 Corinthians 7:21

21 Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.

1 Corinthians 7:31

31 and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.

1 Corinthians 9:12

12 If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:15

15 But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.
