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.

Denn wer als Knecht berufen ist in dem HERRN, der ist ein Freigelassener des HERRN; desgleichen, wer als Freier berufen ist, der ist ein Knecht Christi.
Porque el que en el Señor es llamado siendo siervo, liberto es del Señor: asimismo también el que es llamado siendo libre, siervo es de Cristo.
Porque el que fue llamado en el Señor siendo esclavo es liberto del Señor; de igual manera, el que fue llamado siendo libre es esclavo de Cristo.
Car l'esclave qui a été appelé dans le Seigneur est un affranchi du Seigneur; de même, l'homme libre qui a été appelé est un esclave de Christ.
Perciocchè colui che è chiamato nel Signore, essendo servo, è servo francato del Signore; parimente ancora colui ch’è chiamato, essendo libero, è servo di Cristo.
Porque o que é chamado pelo Senhor, sendo servo, é liberto do Senhor; e da mesma maneira também o que é chamado sendo livre, servo é de Cristo.
因為,蒙主呼召的奴僕是主所釋放的人;蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴僕。
