7 Revised Standard Version Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

17 Only, let every one lead the life which the Lord has assigned to him, and in which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.The Life Which the Lord Has Assigned 1Cor.7.17-24Εἰ μὴ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ἐμέρισεν ὁ κύριος, ἑκαστον ὡς κέκληκεν ὁ θεός, οὑτως περιπατείτω· καὶ οὑτως ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις πάσαις διατάσσομαι.
18 Was any one at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was any one at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. περιτετμημένος τις ἐκλήθὴ μὴ ἐπισπάσθω. ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ κέκληταί τις; μὴ περιτεμνέσθω.
19 For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God. ἡ περιτομὴ οὐδέν ἐστιν, καὶ ἡ ἀκροβυστία οὐδέν ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ τήρησις ἐντολῶν θεοῦ.
20 Every one should remain in the state in which he was called. ἑκαστος ἐν τῇ κλήσει ᾗ ἐκλήθη ἐν ταύτῃ μενέτω.
21 Were you a slave when called? Never mind. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. δοῦλος ἐκλήθης; μή σοι μελέτω· ἀλλ' εἰ καὶ δύνασαι ἐλεύθερος γενέσθαι, μᾶλλον χρῆσαι.
22 For he who was called in the Lord as a slave is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a slave of Christ. ὁ γὰρ ἐν κυρίῳ κληθεὶς δοῦλος ἀπελεύθερος κυρίου ἐστίν· ὁμοίως ὁ ἐλεύθερος κληθεὶς δοῦλός ἐστιν Χριστοῦ.
23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. τιμῆς ἠγοράσθητε· μὴ γίνεσθε δοῦλοι ἀνθρώπων.
24 So, brethren, in whatever state each was called, there let him remain with God. ἑκαστος ἐν ᾧ ἐκλήθη, ἀδελφοί, ἐν τούτῳ μενέτω παρὰ θεῷ.
