CHRISTIAN CASUISTRY.

1 COR. vii. 18-24.--"Is any man called being circumcised?
let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision?
let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and
uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of
God. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou
mayest be made free use it rather. 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. Ye are bought with a
price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man
wherein he is called therein abide with God." 156
