The bond-servant was to be totally submissive to the will of their master! Paul is saying that he has given himself up to Jesus in this manner.
The introduction to any of Paul's Epistles is worthy of the
Closest scrutiny; not to find out if there is any error in his theology, but in order to become instructed in the greatest secret of the Christian life.
