“I have never met any man who was for slavery willing to volunteer for the job himself.”

Galatians 3:26-29 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 2:15-16 Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover- up for evil; live as servants of God.

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

2 Peter 2:19 …for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

"Hard work may not kill me but why take a chance?"
