1 Corinthians 7:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Art thou called being a servant? [a]care not for it: but if yet thou mayest be free, use it rather.
22 For he that is called in the [b]Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called being free, is Christ’s servant.
23 (A)[c]Ye are bought with a price: be not the servants of men.

- 1 Corinthians 7:21 As though this calling were too unworthy a calling for Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 7:22 He that is in state of a servant, and is called to be a Christian.
- 1 Corinthians 7:23 He showeth the reason of the unlikeness, because that he that desireth to be circumcised, maketh himself subject to man’s tradition, and not to God. And this may be much more understood of superstitions, which some do foolishly accompt for things indifferent.

New International Version
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person;(A) similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.(B) 23 You were bought at a price;(C) do not become slaves of human beings.
