1 Corinthians 7:22

---

← 1 Corinthians 7:21	1 Corinthians 7:22 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 7:23 →
Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.	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.	Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

• G1063 — γάρ (gár, gar): for — a primary particle; properly, assigning a reason (used in argument, explanation or intensification; often with other particles):--and, as, because (that), but, even, for, indeed, no doubt, seeing, then, therefore, verily, what, why, yet.
