⁵ But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'

¹⁶ It shall be, if he tell you, I will not go out from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;

¹⁷ then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your maid-servant you shall do likewise.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

¹⁵ He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

¹³ Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us; but by you only will we make mention of your name.
