1 Corinthians 7:20-22

KJV

NIV

20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
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 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.
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.
