1 Corinthians 7:21-23

Revised Standard Version

²¹ Were you a slave when called? Never mind. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.^{[a] 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. ²³ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
