19. Circumcision means nothing, and uncircumcision means nothing; what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
20. Everyone should remain in the state in which he was called.
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.
