For the record, that phrase is often rendered something along the lines of "Masters, give your slaves what is just and fair." While you might find a difference between a "bond-servant" and a slave, the original Greek word used doesn't seem to.
Also, one other passage I've read being used to justify slavery (and more specifically, to convince slaves to stay complacent in the face of oppression), Ephesians 6:5: "Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with respect for authority, and with a sincere heart [seeking to please them], as [service] to Christ—." It's worth noting that, a few verses later, Paul tells the masters to reciprocate, and the same people who tried to pacify the slaves with that verse never seemed to use the following verse to admonish Massa for being a bit too hard on his slaves.
