|
|
||||||

||||||

||||||

||||||

## g1203 (δεσπότης)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### master
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A δεσπότης is given permission to rule another person. A slave was ruled by a δεσπότης. This word does not mean the same thing as κύριος (g2962), but they are very similar.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## g1401 (δοῦλος)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Slave- A slave is someone who is owned by another person. They are forced to serve that person.
|
|
||||||
### Servant- A servant is someone who serves another person. They are dedicated to one “master.” However, they are not forced to serve this master.
|
|
||||||
Someone who served another person because they needed to pay a debt, that is, they owed someone money. Sometimes translators write the word “bond-servant” when the author wanted to say this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
English does not have a word that means the same thing as the word “δοῦλος.” A master controls a δοῦλος in some way. However in Scripture, the authors do not say how a person is controlled by, depends on, or serves another person or God.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See: Christians are servants

|
||||||

|
||||||
## g2962 (κύριος)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Someone who is given permission to rule
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In ancient Israel, people did not want dishonor God by saying his name in the wrong way. Therefore, they said κύριος instead. This word does not mean the same thing as δεσπότης (g1203), but they are very similar.
