    Blessed are the poor, for they shall have healthcare. (But not too poor, We’re not a bunch of communists.)

    So let’s try again:

    Blessed are those who toil in service of their masters, for they will be trickled down upon.

      Ephesians 6:5

      Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

          If you mean added to the bible after the council of Nicea decided on the contents of the bible, no. The bible, both old testament and new, is very explicitly pro-slavery.

            I’m just doin a sarcasm

            I know the Bible’s pro-slavery. It’s easier to keep people in check with a lil bit o’ faith

              Apparently reading so many bad takes over the last few years has destroyed my ability to detect sarcasm. Sorry about that.
