1 Corinthians 7:20 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

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.

20 Que chacun demeure dans l’état où il était lorsqu’il a été appelé.

21 As-tu été appelé étant esclave, ne t’en inquiète pas; mais si tu peux devenir libre, profites-en plutôt.

22 Car l’esclave qui a été appelé dans le Seigneur est un affranchi du Seigneur; de même, l’homme libre qui a été appelé est un esclave de Christ.
