1 Corinthians
Chapters 7:21-27
Revised Version 1885
21Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: but if thou canst become free, use it rather.
22For he that was called in the Lord, being a bondservant, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he that was called, being free, is Christ's bondservant.
23Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.
24Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
26I think therefore that this is good by reason of the present distress, namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
