Like I said the words slave/slaves only appears twice in the King James Version of the Bible, which is the most accurate and popular translation.
some translations add words or leave out whole scriptures.
1 Timothy 6(KJV)
1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
as you can see the word "Christian" doesn't even appear.
My point was to the faith of the masters - who get no criticism for owning slaves.
I highlighted the relevant bit in your version. Believing masters would be.......Druids? Moslems? Rastas? .....er.......no......perhaps.....CHRISTIANS?
Just because the word doesn't appear doesn't mean we can't establish who is being spoken about.
