    15But if the unbeliever wants a divorce, let it take place. In these circumstances the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you in peace.

    18Was anyone called after he had been circumcised? He should not try to undo his circumcision. Was anyone called who is uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised.

    19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Instead, keeping God’s commandments is what counts.

    20Let each one remain in that situation in life in which he was called.

    21Were you called as a slave? Do not worry about it. But if indeed you are able to be free, make the most of the opportunity.

    23You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of men.
