1 Corinthians 7:21 in Context — 1 Corinthians 7
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.
23 Vós fostes comprados por alto preço; [portanto] não vos façais escravos dos seres humanos.
