'Free' in the Bible
Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use it rather.
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.
But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord?
For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
