Bible Concordance

Freedman (1 Occurrence)

1 Corinthians 7:22 For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord's freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ's bondservant.
(ASV DBY YLT NAS RSV NIV)

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) A man who has been a slave, and has been set free.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

FREEDMAN; FREEMAN

fred'-man, fre'-man: The term occurs in 1 Corinthians 7:22 Colossians 3:11, and Revelation 6:15, and represents two slightly different words. In 1 Corinthians 7:22 the word is apeleutheros, "a freeman," one who was born a slave and has received freedom. In this case it refers to spiritual freedom. He that was in bondage to sin has been presented with spiritual freedom by the Lord. In Revelation 6:15 the word is simply eleutheros, "a free man" as opposed to a slave.
