1 Corinthians 7:21-27 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

21. a servant--wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free--use [it] rather;

22. for he who [is] in the Lord--having been called a servant--is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:

23. with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men;

24. each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

25. And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

26. I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus: --

27. Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
