“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
We can unwittingly become slaves to other people’s teachings or traditions. Some use their authority and influence to present their arguments in persuasive ways.

Likewise, we check what we hear against the Scriptures so we aren’t deceived.
