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 1Co 7:22: Paul was saying that those Christians who are not slaves to any person are slaves to Christ (see note 1 at Ro 1:1). The 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. They do not own themselves (1Co 7:23).
