1 Corinthians 7:22 |
Next Verse |
For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is Christ's servant.
Note 8 at 1 Cor. 7:22: Paul is saying that those Christians who are not slaves to any man are slaves to Christ (see note 1 at Rom. 1:1, p. 740). This whole concept of absolute freedom that many espouse today was foreign to Paul and scriptural truth. True Christians have come under the Lordship of Jesus. We do not own ourselves (v. 23).
