Now if Christ is preached that He has been
raised from the dead, how do some among
you say that there is no resurrection of the
dead? But if there is no resurrection of the
dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ
is not risen, then our preaching is empty

"Freedom in the ancient Near East was a relative, not an
absolute state, as the ambiguity of the term for "slave" in
all the region's languages illustrates. "Slave" could be
used to refer to a subordinate in the social ladder. Thus
the subjects of a king were called his "slaves," even
though they were free citizens. The king himself, if a
vassal, was the "slave" of his emperor; kings, emperors,
and commoners alike were "slaves" of the gods. Even a
social inferior, when addressing a social superior, referred
to himself out of politeness as "your slave.“ ”
