21. Formal Translation Were you called as a slave? Let it not be a concern to you; but if you are also able to become free, rather make use of the opportunity. |
21. Dynamic Translation If you were called while you were a slave, do not let that trouble you; but if you can become free, then make full use of that opportunity. |
