20. the same calling—that is, the condition from which he is called a Jew, a Greek, a slave, or a freeman.

1 Corinthians 7:22

22. the Lord's freeman— (Phm 16) —rather, "freedman." Though a slave externally, spiritually made free by the Lord: from sin, Joh 8:36; from the law, Ro 8:2; from "circumcision," 1Co 7:19; Ga 5:1.

Christ's servant— (1Co 9:21). Love makes Christ's service perfect freedom (Mt 11:29, 30; Ga 5:13; 1Pe 2:16).
