1 Corinthians 7:21-23 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

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.

²³You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
