Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children; and she had an Egyptian maid, whose name was Hagar.

Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in simplicity of heart, as to Christ;

with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

Let as many as are slaves under a yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.

And those having believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather let them serve as slaves, because those receiving the good service are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

[ 3:10] And the Lord God called Adam and said to him, Adam, where are you?

And the Lord said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries [out] to Me from the ground.

Has not your forsaking Me brought these things upon you? Says the Lord your God.

And now what have you to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Gihon? And what have you to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers?

And now, let my lord the king hear the word of his servant: if God stirs you up against me, let your offering be acceptable; but if [it is] the children of men, [may] they be cursed before the Lord, for they have cast me out this day, so that I should not be established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.
