1 Corinthians 7:21

Were you called as a slave? ¹  Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity.

Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so.

Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.

Are you a slave? Don’t let that worry you––but if you get a chance to be free, take it.

Were you a slave? Slavery is no roadblock to obeying and believing. I don't mean you're stuck and can't leave. If you have a chance at freedom, go ahead and take it.

If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

Were you a slave when called? Do not be concerned about it. Even if you can gain your freedom, make use of your present condition now more than ever.

Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it .

Were you called as a slave? ¹  Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity.

¹ tn Traditionally, “servant” (KJV), though almost all modern translations render the word as “slave” here.
