17 But every man must live according to the conditions which God has ordained for him. This means that he must live in the condition in which God called him. This is the principle I have made in all the churches.
1 Corinthians 7:17
18 If a man was not circumcised when God called him, he must not be circumcised. If a person is not circumcised at the time of calling, he should not be circumcised.
1 Corinthians 7:18
19 It doesn’t matter if a person is circumcised or not. The important thing is to obey God’s commands.
1 Corinthians 7:19
20 Let every man abide in the calling of God.
1 Corinthians 7:20
21 If you were a slave when the Lord called you, don’t worry about it, but if you can be free, be free.
1 Corinthians 7:21
22 The man who was a slave when the Lord called him is now free in the Lord. In the same way, the man who was free when God called him is now a slave of Christ.
1 Corinthians 7:22
23 You people were bought at a high price. So do not become slaves of men.
1 Corinthians 7:23
24 Brothers and sisters, live your new life with God in the way you were living when God called you.
1 Corinthians 7:24
