And remember, if you were a slave when the Lord called you, you are now free in the Lord. And if you were free when the Lord called you, you are now a slave of Christ.

因为作奴仆蒙召于主的，就是主所释放的人；作自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴仆。

因为，蒙主呼召的奴仆是主所释放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴仆。

因为，蒙主呼召的奴仆是主所释放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴仆。

因为，如果你蒙召信主时是奴隶，现在则是主的自由人；如果你蒙召时是自由人，现在则是基督的奴仆。

因为作奴仆的蒙了主的呼召，就是属于主的自由人了；照样，自由的人蒙了呼召，他就是基督的奴仆了。

要知道，做奴仆时在主里蒙召的，就是主的自由人；同样，做自由人时蒙召的，就是基督的奴仆。

因為作奴僕蒙召於主的，就是主所釋放的人；作自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴僕。

因為，蒙主呼召的奴僕是主所釋放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴僕。

因為，蒙主呼召的奴僕是主所釋放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴僕。

因為，如果你蒙召信主時是奴隸，現在則是主的自由人；如果你蒙召時是自由人，現在則是基督的奴僕。

因為作奴僕的蒙了主的呼召，就是屬於主的自由人了；照樣，自由的人蒙了呼召，他就是基督的奴僕了。

做奴僕而在主裏蒙召的、就是主的釋放奴；同樣的，自主人蒙召的、也是基督的奴僕。

要知道，做奴僕時在主裡蒙召的，就是主的自由人；同樣，做自由人時蒙召的，就是基督的奴僕。

蓋為奴而見召於主、則為主所釋、自由而見召、則為基督之奴、

凡為人奴、宗主而見召、是主釋之、不為人奴而見召、是為基督僕、

蓋為人奴而蒙召以信主、乃主所釋者、不為人奴而蒙召、乃為基督之奴、

蓋為奴而蒙主之召、在主已為自由之人矣；自由之人而蒙召者、亦為基督之奴矣。

We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear,in holiness and righteousness for as long as we live.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord.Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the obligation to do right.And what was the result? You are now ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom.But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

What do you mean,‘ You will be set free’?”Jesus replied,“ I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever.So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
