Passage Three (Slavery)

Lev 25:39-42

When, then, your countryman becomes so impoverished beside you that he sells you his services, do not make him work as a slave. Rather let him be like a hired servant or like your tenant, working with you until the jubilee year, when he, together with his children, shall be released from your serve and return to his kindred and to the property of his ancestors. Since those whom I brought out of the land of Egypt are servants of mine, they shall not be sold as slaves to any man.

3: If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
