1 Corinthians 7:21 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

19 La circuncisión nada es, y la incircuncisión nada es; sino la observancia de las mandamientos de Dios.

20 Cada uno en la vocación en que fué llamado, en ella se quede.

21 ¿Eres llamado siendo siervo? no se te dé cuidado: mas también si puedes hacerte libre, procúralo más.

22 Porque el que en el Señor es llamado siendo siervo, liberto es del Señor: asimismo también el que es llamado siendo libre, siervo es de Cristo.

23 Por precio sois comprados; no os hagáis siervos de los hombres.
