1 Corinthians 7:23

Verse 23 of 40. The 7th of 16 chapters in 1 Corinthians, in The Letters of Paul.

19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.

20Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.

21Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

22For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.

23You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.

24Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.

25Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

26Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.

27Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
