1 Corinthians 7:20

William Tyndale New Testament

Let every man abide in the same state wherein he was called.

See the chapter Copy

but even as god hath distributed to every man. ¶ As the Lord hath called every person, so let him walk: and so ordain I in all congregations.

Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be lowsed. Art thou lowsed from a wife? seek not a wife.

and that ye study to be quiet, and to meddle with your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you:

Them that are such, we command and exhort in the name of our Lord Iesu Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their bread.
