Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free. Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. He should not become uncircumcised. He should not be circumcised.
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.
Keeping God's commands is what counts. Each one should remain in the situation which he or she was in when God called him. Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to. The Corinthians were to determine the best way to serve God in married or unmarried situations they werein when they were baptized. Yet, this basic principle is continually demonstrated throughout the scriptures not only in marriage situations but also in every walk of life.
