Slaves

* * *

Apostles calling themselves Jesus’ slave:

Romans 1:1 From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.

Philippians 1:1 From Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus . . .

2 Peter 1:1 From Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ . . .

Jude 1:11 From Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ . . .

The above is from the New English Translation (NET Bible)

Examples of the same Greek word in other contexts:

1 Corinthians 7:21 Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man . . .

1 Timothy 6:1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor . . .

Philemon 1:15-6 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother . . .
