1 Corinthians7:22
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant , is the Lords free-man: likewise also he that is called being free, is Christs servant .
For the state of a servant to men, no way prejudiceth [illegible: 1 letter] man as to his spiritual liberty: a servant and a free-man considered with reference to Christ, are both one; a servant may be as near the Kingdom of Heaven as a free-man, and let a man be in never so good a state of civil liberty; yet if he be a Christian, he is still a servant of Christ, and bound in all things to obey him. As to the new man, there is neither bond nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
