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.

24 Irmãos, cada um continue com Deus [no estado] em que foi chamado.
