1 Corinthians 7:21 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

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.

23 Vous avez été rachetés à un grand prix; ne devenez pas esclaves des hommes.
