1 Corinthians 7:21-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Do not be concerned but, even if you can gain your freedom, make the most of it. 22 For the slave called in the Lord is a freed person in the Lord, just as the free person who has been called is a slave of Christ.(A) 23 You have been purchased at a price. Do not become slaves to human beings.(B) 24 Brothers, everyone should continue before God in the state in which he was called.
