The New Testament Sanctions Slavery
Servants, obey in all things your master according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. (Col. 3: 22.)
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. (1 Peter 2: 18.)
In addition to these positive indorsements of slaveholding, it should be remembered that Jesus never condemned it, and it was not difficult, therefore, for the church also to indorse and support it.
