1 Corinthians 7:21 in other translations
Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

In context
18 being circumcised--was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;
19 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing--but a keeping of the commands of God.
20 Each in the calling in which he was called--in this let him remain;
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.
