1 Corinthians 7:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 Were you called as a slave? Do not let it be a concern to you. But if also[a] you are able to become free, rather make-use-of the opportunity. 22 For the one having been called in the Lord as a slave is a freedperson of the Lord. Likewise the one having been called as a free one is a slave of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves[b] of people.
