1 Corinthians 7:20 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7

18 É alguém chamado, estando já circunciso? Não desfaça a circuncisão. É alguém chamado estando ainda incircunciso? Não se circuncide.

19 A circuncisão nada vale, e a incircuncisão nada vale; mas [o que vale] é a obediência aos mandamentos de Deus.

20 Cada um fique no propósito em que foi chamado.

21 Foste tu chamado sendo escravo? Não te preocupes com [isto] ; mas se tu podes te tornares livre, aproveita.

22 Porque o que foi chamado no Senhor enquanto era escravo, para o Senhor é livre; da mesma maneira também, o que foi chamado, sendo livre, se torna escravo de Cristo.
