1 Corinthians 7:24 Context
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a seruant, is the Lords free man: likewise also hee that is called being free, is Christs seruant. 23Ye are bought with a price, be not ye the seruants of men. 24Brethren, let euery man wherin he is called, therein abide with God. 25Nowe concerning virgins, I haue no commaundement of the Lord: yet I giue my iudgement as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithfull. 26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distresse, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
