19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing—but keeping God’s commandments matters.
20 Let each one remain in the calling in which he was called.
21 Were you called as a slave? Don’t let that bother you—but if indeed you can become free, make the most of the opportunity.
22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise the one who was called while free is Messiah’s slave.
23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
24 Brothers and sisters, let each one—in whatever way he was called—remain that way with God.
25 Now concerning virgins I have no command from the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
