1 Corinthians 7:21-23

NKJV

NIV

21 Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it.
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 who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ's slave.
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 men.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
