KJV

NIV

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.
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
