But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

Do not be hard on a servant who is poor and in need, if he is one of your countrymen or a man from another nation living with you in your land.

Getting the poor for silver, and him who is in need for the price of two shoes, and taking a price for the waste parts of the grain.
