1 Corinthians 7:20-24
20 aEach one should remain in the condition in which he was called. 21Were you a bondservant ▼▼Or slave; also twice in verse 22 (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.) 22For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is ca freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is da bondservant of Christ. 23 eYou were bought with a price; fdo not become bondservants ▼▼Or slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
of men. 24So, brothers, ▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verse 29
iin whatever condition each was called, there let him remain with God. 1 Timothy 6:1
1 jLet all who are under a yoke as bondservants ▼▼Or slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lso that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. Titus 2:9-10
9 mBondservants ▼▼Or Slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
are to be submissive to their own masters oin everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10not pilfering, pbut showing all good faith, qso that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.
