King James Version with Apocrypha
"Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather."
— 1 Corinthians 7:21, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.”
“Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use it rather. ”
“Were you called being a bondservant? Don't let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.”
“Were you called as a slave? Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity.”
“Wast thou called, being a bondman? Care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.”
“If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.”
Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
