19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God is everything.
20 Let each man remain in the same condition in which he was called.
21 Were you called while a servant? Do not worry about it. But if you may become free, do so.
22 For he who is called in the Lord while a servant is the Lord’s freeman. Likewise, he who is called while free is Christ’s servant.
23 You were bought at a price. Do not be the servants of men.
24 Brothers, let every man, in whatever condition he is called, remain there with God.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no command from the Lord. Yet I will give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.
