Remain in Your Calling
1 Corinthians 7:17-24
17
Only let each person live the life the Lord has assigned him and live it in the condition he was in when God called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the congregations.
18
Was someone already circumcised when he was called? Then he should not try to remove the marks of his circumcision. Was someone uncircumcised when he was called? He shouldn’t undergo b’rit-milah.
19
Being circumcised means nothing, and being uncircumcised means nothing; what does mean something is keeping God’s commandments.
20
Each person should remain in the condition he was in when he was called.
21
Were you a slave when you were called? Well, don’t let it bother you; although if you can gain your freedom, take advantage of the opportunity.
22
For a person who was a slave when he was called is the Lord’s freedman; likewise, someone who was a free man when he was called is a slave of the Messiah.
23
You were bought at a price, so do not become slaves of other human beings.
24
Brothers, let each one remain with God in the condition in which he was called.
