1 Corinthians 7:22

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.

For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.

²³ You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

²⁴ Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
