Pastor Gordy continues in 1 Timothy and addresses the first 2 verses in chapter 6. Paul addresses Christians within the Roman institution of slavery by instructing them in godly conduct rather than endorsing the system itself. Acknowledging slavery as a social reality, he calls believers to serve sincerely as unto Christ so that the gospel is not slandered. His ultimate aim is God’s glory, with the hope that faithful, honorable service might win over unbelieving masters.
