1 Corinthians 7:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For the state of a servant to men no way prejudiceth a man as to his spiritual liberty; a servant and a free-man, considered with reference to Christ, are both one; a servant may be as near the kingdom of heaven as a free-man; and let a man be in never so good a state of civil liberty, yet, if he be a Christian, he is still a servant of Christ, and bound in all things to obey him. As to the new man, there is neither bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

1 Corinthians 7:22

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman:c likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
