1 Corinthians 7:20

7:20 Let each one remain in that situation in life ¹  in which he was called.

1 Corinthians 8:3

8:3 But if someone loves God, he ²  is known by God. ³ 

1 Corinthians 8:9

8:9 But be careful that this liberty of yours does not become a hindrance to the weak.

1 Corinthians 9:3

9:3 This is my defense to those who examine me.

[7:20]  ¹ tn Grk “in the calling.” “Calling” in Paul is God’s work of drawing people to faith in Christ. As in 1:26, calling here stands by metonymy for a person’s circumstances when he becomes a Christian.

[8:3]  ² tn Grk “this one.”

[8:3]  ³ tn Grk “him”; in the translation the most likely referent (God) has been specified for clarity.
