TSK · Colossians 4:1

"'If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave.

When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. Neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards."

"If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me;

'Why have we fasted,' [say they], 'and you don't see? [why] have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.

that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondservants of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother.

To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way.

But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,'

"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
