God’s Good News for Rome

Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle and singled out for God’s good news—

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.

For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.

For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.

There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Freedom of the Christian

Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Slaves and Masters

Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.

Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

Greeting

Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus: To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons.

In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.
