1 Corinthians 7:20-23
(20) Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
(21) Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
(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.
(23) Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
7:20-23. Likewise, a Christian’s vocational situation is a matter of little consequence (if status can be changed, well and good; if not, it is not a matter for worry). What matters is that every Christian should realize he is Christ’s slave and needs to render obedience to Him. Every vocation then becomes Christian service performed for the Master (cf. Eph. 6:5-8).
