1 Corinthians 7:24

Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
1 Corinthians 7:20

Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
1 Corinthians 7:24


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
The rules of Christianity reach every condition; and in every state a man may live so as to be a credit to it. It is the duty of every Christian to be content with his lot, and to conduct himself in his rank and place as becomes a Christian. Our comfort and happiness depend on what we are to Christ, not what we are in the world. No man should think to make his faith or religion, an argument to break through any natural or civil obligations. He should quietly and contentedly abide in the condition in which he is placed by Divine Providence.

Christian Contentment

1 Corinthians 7:24Brothers, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

Observe —
I. THE DANGER. —
1. Of becoming discontented with our calling.
2. This is common.
3. It may be excited by the more enlightened views produced by conversion.
II. THE DUTY. "To abide," &c.
1. This does not mean —
(1) That a slave may not seek his liberty.
(2) That a man must not relinquish a nefarious occupation.
(3) That a Christian may not desire a position of greater advantage and usefulness.
2. It —
(1) Inculcates contentment.
(2) Teaches that every honest calling affords scope for Christian development, and that we should serve God in our calling.
III. THE MOTIVE. God —
1. Has appointed your condition.
2. Blesses you in it.
3. Can easily improve it if desirable.
(J. Lyth, D. D.)
