1 Corinthians 7:20-23
20 aEach one should remain in the condition in which he was called. 21Were you a bondservant ▼▼Or slave; also twice in verse 22 (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is ca freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is da bondservant of Christ. 23 eYou were bought with a price; fdo not become bondservants ▼▼Or slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
of men.
