Paul's instruction to the church in Corinth is that you are to remain in the condition in which you were called. The examples given are with respect to being free or a slave or circumcised or uncircumcised. It is also with respect to leading the life assigned to them by the Lord. Really, the living one or the other doesn't really matter in the sense that they don't count for points, so why would you desire to change? However, freedom is still something you should get if you can, so there are exceptions. But you shouldn't desire for wrong reasons, such as thinking it necessary for salvation. Either way, he calls for them to remain, most importantly to remain with God.
