1 Corinthians 7:20-22
Context7:20 Let each one remain in that situation in life 1 in which he was called. 7:21 Were you called as a slave? 2 Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity. 7:22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ’s slave.
[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.
[7:21] 2 tn Traditionally, “servant” (KJV), though almost all modern translations render the word as “slave” here.
