Each one should go on living according to the Lord's gift to him, and as he was when God called him. This is a rule I teach in all churches. If a circumcised man has accepted God's call, he should not try to remove the marks of circumcision; if an uncircumcised man has accepted God's call, he should not get circumcised. For wheteher or not a man is circumcised means nothing; what matters is to obey God's commandments. Everyone should remain as he was when he accepted God's call. Were you a slave when God called you? Well, never mind; but if you have a chance to become a free man, use it. For a slave who has been called by the Lord is a free man who has been called by Christ is his slave. God bought you for a price; so do not become slaves of men. My brothers, each one should remain in fellowship with God in the same condition as when he was called.
1 Corinthians 7:17-24
