Noun oiketēs (house-servant) in the New Testament

(Translation from NRSV for the New Testament with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)


Luke

16: 13No house-servant (oiketēs) can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

Acts

10: 7When the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his house-servants (oiketēs) and a devout soldier from the ranks of those who served him,

Romans

14: 4Who are you to pass judgment on a house-servant (oiketēs) of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

1 Peter

2: 18House-servants (oiketēs), accept the authority of your masters with all deference, not only those who are kind and gentle but also those who are harsh.
