To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 ; 1 Tim. Vi. 2, and Titus ii. 9, 10. The passage in 1 Tim. Vi. 2, makes this so clear, it seems to me, that it cannot be denied by any one who will candidly and carefully examine the direction of the apostle : " And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are bre- thren ; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved" The same thing is taught with equal clear- ness in 1 Cor. Xii. 13: "For by one spirit are we all bap- tized into one body, ...whether we be Jews or Gentiles ; whe- ther we be bond or free" Here, it is evident, that as there were in the church those who had been Jews, and those w r ho were of Gentile origin, so there were those who were properly described by the word 'bond' — 8ov%ot — and those who were described by the w r ord ' free' — ftev&poi. It is true, that the latter term does not necessarily prove that they were masters or owners of slaves, still the use of the term ' bond and free' in the same connection would most naturally suggest that.
