    Comments: In some languages it may be useful to render δοῦλος in the context of {S:04500601900060} as a simile, ‘like slaves,’ for example, ‘for as you surrendered the parts of your body to be like slaves to obey impurity and wickedness’ or ‘… to be ordered about by impurity and wickedness.’

    DefinitionShort: one who is a slave in the sense of becoming the property of an owner (though in ancient times it was frequently possible for a slave to earn his freedom)
    Glosses: ['slave', 'bondservant']
    Comments: When Paul speaks of himself as a slave of Jesus Christ or of God in {S:04500100100004}, {S:04800101000034}, and {S:05600100100004}, the term {L:δοῦλος} focuses attention primarily upon his belonging to Christ or to God. There are probably also important positive overtones, since in some languages of the ancient Middle East a phrase meaning ‘slave of the king’ or ‘servant of the king’ had become the title of an important person in the government. For a discussion of certain further implications of the term {L:δοῦλος}, see the discussion at {D:87.81}.
