18. Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20. Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.
21. Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use it rather.
22. For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ’s bondservant.
23. Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men.
24. Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25. Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.
