What was slavery like in the NT world?
In the New Testament, slaves guarded doors (Acts 12.13–14), managed their owners’ wealth (Matt 25.14–30), prepared feasts and more (Luke 15.23). Slaves, freed slaves and slave owners worshipped together in early church communities (1 Cor 7.21–23; 1 Tim 6.1–2; Philemon 15–16). The imagery of slavery described a person’s relationship to sin and to God (John 8.33–36; Rom 6.16–20).
