New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 17 | However that may be, each one must order his life according to the gift the Lord has granted him and his condition when God called him. That is what I teach in all our congregations. | The Life Which the Lord Has Assigned 1Cor.7.17-24 | Εἰ μὴ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ἐμέρισεν ὁ κύριος, ἑκαστον ὡς κέκληκεν ὁ θεός, οὑτως περιπατείτω· καὶ οὑτως ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις πάσαις διατάσσομαι. |
|
| 18 | Was a man called with the is marks of circumcision on him? Let him not remove them. Was he uncircumcised when he was called? Let him not be circumcised. | | περιτετμημένος τις ἐκλήθὴ μὴ ἐπισπάσθω. ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ κέκληταί τις; μὴ περιτεμνέσθω. |
|
| 19 | Circumcision or uncircumcision is neither here nor there; what matters is to keep God's commands. | | ἡ περιτομὴ οὐδέν ἐστιν, καὶ ἡ ἀκροβυστία οὐδέν ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ τήρησις ἐντολῶν θεοῦ. |
|
| 20 | Every man should remain in the condition in which he was called. | | ἑκαστος ἐν τῇ κλήσει ᾗ ἐκλήθη ἐν ταύτῃ μενέτω. |
|
| 21 | Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let that trouble you; but if a chance of liberty should come, take it. Or: but even if a chance of liberty should come, choose rather to make good use of your servitude. | | δοῦλος ἐκλήθης; μή σοι μελέτω· ἀλλ' εἰ καὶ δύνασαι ἐλεύθερος γενέσθαι, μᾶλλον χρῆσαι. |
|
| 22 | For the man who as a slave received the call to be a Christian is the Lord's freedman, and, equally, the free man who received the call is a slave in the service of Christ. | | ὁ γὰρ ἐν κυρίῳ κληθεὶς δοῦλος ἀπελεύθερος κυρίου ἐστίν· ὁμοίως ὁ ἐλεύθερος κληθεὶς δοῦλός ἐστιν Χριστοῦ. |
|
| 23 | You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. | | τιμῆς ἠγοράσθητε· μὴ γίνεσθε δοῦλοι ἀνθρώπων. |
|
| 24 | Thus each one, my friends, is to remain before God in the condition in which he received his call.
| | ἑκαστος ἐν ᾧ ἐκλήθη, ἀδελφοί, ἐν τούτῳ μενέτω παρὰ θεῷ. |
