Berean Standard Bible
“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.”
Paul is answering questions the Corinthians sent him about marriage, singleness and social status. Slavery was widespread in the Roman world, and some believers were slaves while others were free, so he explains that a person's standing before God does not depend on it.
