Live as You Are Called
17Only let each person lead the life3 lthat the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. mThis is my rule in nall the churches. 18Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? oLet him not seek circumcision. 19pFor neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but qkeeping the commandments of God. 20rEach one should remain in the condition in which he was called. 21Were you a bondservant4 when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is sa freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is ta bondservant of Christ. 23uYou were bought with a price; vdo not become bondservants of men. 24So, brothers,5 win whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God.
