NASB
"Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that."
— 1 Corinthians 7:21, NASB
“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.”
“Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.”
Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.
Each man must remain in that condition in which he was called.
Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.
For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christ's slave.
You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
Brethren, each one is to remain with God in that condition in which he was called.
