19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
20Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
21Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you — but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
22For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
— 1 Corinthians 7:19-22
