7:21 Art thou called [being] a servant? {p} care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.
(p) As though this calling were too unworthy a calling for Christ.
7:21 Art thou called [being] a servant? Half the population of the Roman Empire at this time were slaves. Thousands of the early Christians were in this condition.
Care not for it. If a servant was converted, let him not be troubled over his servile state;.
But if thou mayest be free. But if he had the means of becoming free, let him rather choose freedom.
7:21 Care not for it - Do not anxiously seek liberty. But if thou canst be free, use it rather - Embrace the opportunity.
7:17-24 The rules of Christianity reach every condition; and in every state a man may live so as to be a credit to it. It is the duty of every Christian to be content with his lot, and to conduct himself in his rank and place as becomes a Christian. Our comfort and happiness depend on what we are to Christ, not what we are in the world. No man should think to make his faith or religion, an argument to break through any natural or civil obligations. He should quietly and contentedly abide in the condition in which he is placed by Divine Providence.
