1 Corinthians 7:19
17 Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.
18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
20 Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
