16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
τι γαρ οιδας γυναι ει τον ανδρα σωσεις η τι οιδας ανερ ει την γυναικα σωσεις
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
ει μη εκαστω ως εμερισεν ο θεος εκαστον ως κεκληκεν ο κυριος ουτως περιπατειτω και ουτως εν ταις εκκλησιαις πασαις διατασσομαι
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
περιτετμημενος τις εκληθη μη επισπασθω εν ακροβυστια τις εκληθη μη περιτεμνεσθω
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
η περιτομη ουδεν εστιν και η ακροβυστια ουδεν εστιν αλλα τηρησις εντολων θεου
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
εκαστος εν τη κλησει η εκληθη εν ταυτη μενετω
21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
δουλος εκληθης μη σοι μελετω αλλ ει και δυνασαι ελευθερος γενεσθαι μαλλον χρησαι
22 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.
ο γαρ εν κυριω κληθεις δουλος απελευθερος κυριου εστιν ομοιως και ο ελευθερος κληθεις δουλος εστιν χριστου
23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
τιμης ηγορασθητε μη γινεσθε δουλοι ανθρωπων
24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
εκαστος εν ω εκληθη αδελφοι εν τουτω μενετω παρα τω θεω
25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
περι δε των παρθενων επιταγην κυριου ουκ εχω γνωμην δε διδωμι ως ηλεημενος υπο κυριου πιστος ειναι
