1 Corinthians 7:17 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

15 Si le non-croyant se sépare, qu’il se sépare; le frère ou la sœur ne sont pas liés dans ces cas-là. Dieu nous a appelés à vivre en paix.

16 Car que sais-tu, femme, si tu sauveras ton mari? Ou que sais-tu, mari, si tu sauveras ta femme?

17 Seulement, que chacun marche selon la part que le Seigneur lui a faite, selon l’appel qu’il a reçu de Dieu. C’est ainsi que je l’ordonne dans toutes les Églises.

18 Quelqu’un a-t-il été appelé étant circoncis, qu’il demeure circoncis; quelqu’un a-t-il été appelé étant incirconcis, qu’il ne se fasse pas circoncire.

19 La circoncision n’est rien, et l’incirconcision n’est rien, mais l’observation des commandements de Dieu est tout.
