1 Corinthians 7:17-28

Let each one live his life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called  him.  This is what I command in all the churches. Was anyone already circumcised when he was called? He should not undo his circumcision. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? He should not get circumcised. Circumcision does not matter and uncircumcision does not matter. Keeping God’s commands is what matters. Let each of you remain in the situation  in which he was called. Were you called while a slave? Don’t let it concern you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity.  For he who is called by the Lord as a slave  is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave. You were bought  at a price; do not become slaves of people. Brothers and sisters, each person is to remain with God in the situation in which he was called. Now about virgins:  I have no command from the Lord, but I do give an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy  is faithful.  Because of the present distress, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. However, if you do get married,  you have not sinned, and if a virgin  marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have trouble in this life,  and I am trying to spare you.
