²² For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ's bondservant.

¹⁶ as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

¹⁶ no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

¹ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

¹ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and `the' Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

²² Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:

²³ whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.

⁵ Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

⁶ not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

¹³ For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only `use' not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.

¹ For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

¹⁹ For though I was free from all `men,' I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.

¹⁸ and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.

¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members `as' servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members `as' servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

²⁰ For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.

²¹ What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

²² But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called `to be' an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

⁷⁴ To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,

⁷⁵ In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

¹⁶ O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.
