* Art thou called (5681 ) being a servant ? care # not for it (5720 ): but if thou mayest (5736 ) be made (5635 ) free , use (5663 ) it rather . * For he that is called (5685 ) in the Lord , being a servant , is (5748 ) the Lords freeman : likewise also he that is called (5685 ), being free , is (5748 ) Christs servant . * Ye are bought (5681 ) with a price ; be not ye (5737 ) the servants of men . * Brethren , let every man , wherein he is called (5681 ), therein abide (5720 ) with God . * Now concerning virgins I have (5719 ) no commandment of the Lord : yet I give (5719 ) my judgment , as one that hath obtained mercy (5772 ) of the Lord to be (5750 ) faithful . * I suppose (5719 ) therefore that this is (5721 ) good for the present (5761 ) distress , I say , that it is good for a man so to be (5750 ). * Art thou bound (5769 ) unto a wife ? seek (5720 ) not to be loosed . Art thou loosed (5769 ) from a wife ? seek (5720 ) not a wife . * But and if thou marry (5661 ), thou hast not sinned (5627 ); and if a virgin marry (5661 ), she hath not sinned (5627 ). Nevertheless such shall have (5692 ) trouble in the flesh : but I spare (5736 ) you . * But this I say (5748 ), brethren , the time is short (5772 ): it remaineth (5748 ), that both they that have (5723 ) wives be (5753 ) as though they had (5723 ) none ; * And they that weep (5723 ), as though they wept (5723 ) not ; and they that rejoice (5723 ), as though they rejoiced (5723 ) not ; and they that buy (5723 ), as though they possessed (5723 ) not ; * And they that use (5740 ) this world , as not abusing (5740 ) it : for the fashion of this world passeth away (5719 ). * But I would have (5750 ) (5719 ) you without carefulness . He that is unmarried careth (5719 ) for the things that belong to the Lord , how he may please (5692 ) the Lord :
