Bible Verses about Slavery

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you.

Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free.

I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
