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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 17 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Corinthians. The teaching about remaining in the condition in which one was called relativizes social categories. Christian calling transforms the meaning of present life without necessarily requiring an external change of status.

Doch wie einem jeglichen Gott hat ausgeteilt, wie einen jeglichen der HERR berufen hat, also wandle er. Und also schaffe ich's in allen Gemeinden.
Empero cada uno como el Señor le repartió, y como Dios llamó a cada uno, así ande: y así enseño en todas las iglesias.
En todo caso, que cada uno viva conforme a lo que el Señor le ha asignado y a la condición en que Dios lo ha llamado. Así lo dispongo en todas las iglesias.
Seulement, que chacun marche selon la part que le Seigneur lui a faite, selon l'appel qu'il a reçu de Dieu. C'est ainsi que je l'ordonne dans toutes les Eglises.
Ad ogni modo, secondo che Iddio ha distribuito a ciascuno, secondo che il Signore ha chiamato ciascuno, così cammini; e così ordino in tutte le chiese.
E assim cada um ande como Deus lhe repartiu, cada um como o Senhor o chamou. É o que ordeno em todas as igrejas.
無論如何,要照主所分給各人的恩賜和上帝所召各人的情況生活。我在各教會裏都是這樣規定的。
