1 Corinthians 7 — Context

21

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.

22

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ’s slave.

23

You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of men.

24

In whatever situation someone was called, brothers and sisters, let him remain in it with God.

25

Remaining Unmarried With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.

26

Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are.

27

The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage.
