Sticking to your social position

1 Cor 7:17–24

17Nevertheless, each person should live according to how the master has assigned them and how God has called them. That’s what I teach in all the assemblies. 18Anyone who was called and who was previously circumcised, shouldn’t become ‘uncircumcised’. Anyone who was called who was uncircumcised, shouldn’t get circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but obeying God’s commands is what counts. 20Each person should maintain the position they were in when they were called: 21Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t be concerned about that (but indeed, if you’re able to become free, then take the opportunity) 22because anyone who was a slave when they were called by Yahweh is free in Yahweh’s sight. Conversely, anyone who was free when they were called is the messiah’s slave. 23You all were bought by God for a price, so don’t become slaves of people. 24Again[ref] brothers and sisters, each person should remain in the position they were in when they were called, but now serving God.
