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

17 Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. Christ did not send me to preach the gospel using words of worldly wisdom. If I had used wise words to spread the gospel, then the cross of Christ would have lost its meaning.
1 Corinthians 1:17

18 The message of the cross seems foolish to those who are lost, but to those who are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will make the wisdom of the wise vain.
1 Corinthians 1:19

20 Where are the wise men? Where are the scholars? Where are the philosophies of this world? God has made the wisdom of this world foolish.
1 Corinthians 1:20

21 This is what God wanted with his wisdom; The world did not know God by its wisdom. That is why God used a message that seems foolish to save those who believe in it.
1 Corinthians 1:21

22 The Jews demand miracles as proof. The Greeks demanded wisdom.
1 Corinthians 1:22

23 But this is the message that we preach; Christ died on the cross. This is a big problem for the Jews. And to the non-Jews this seems foolish.
1 Corinthians 1:23

24 But unto the elect, both Jews and Greeks, and Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God;
1 Corinthians 1:24

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.

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.
