1 Corinthians 7:21⥂
KJV:
Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.
BSB:
Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
Greek:
δοῦλος ἐκλήθης; μή σοι μελέτω· ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καὶ δύνασαι ἐλεύθερος γενέσθαι, μᾶλλον χρῆσαι.
