15. But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
16. For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17. But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
18. Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
20. Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
21. Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22. For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
