small group questions
- If you were a slave reading this letter, how would this section make you feel? Why?
- What about if you were a master?
- This is a verse that has historically been used to both condone and condemn slavery. How does the rest of the Bible lead to an interpretation of this text that condemns slavery?
- While slavery still exists in the world, outright slavery isn’t a dynamic we often encounter where we live. That being said, abusive power dynamics between people are present everywhere. What is a power dynamic in our culture you could see Paul writing about if he were to write a letter to the church today?
