Whose Servants?

Pretio empti estis, nolite fieri servi hominum Verum est, quia tam caro empti sumus, ut nullo redimi potuissemus, nisi a Christo, qui omnium dives est, Qui ergo pretio emitur, magis servire debet, ut aliquatenus vicem reddat emptori. A Deo ergo empti, id est a Christo, servi hominum esse non debent. Servi autem hominum hi sunt, qui humanis se subjiciunt superstitionibus. Apostolus tamen illud memorat, quod in capite epistolae reprehendit, eo quod dicerent: Ego sum Pauli; alius autem: Ego Apollo. Dedit tamen articulum Christum fatendum Deum; quando servos Christi non hominis servos appellandos ostendit. Ambrosiaster, In Epistolam Beati Pauli Ad Corinthios Primam, Caput VII Source: Migne PL 17.233a-b

For a price you were bought, be unwilling to be servants of men.' 1 It is true that flesh bought us, that we were unable to pay, unless by Christ, who is rich in all things. He, then, who is bought for a price, should more willingly serve that he may, as far as he can, make return to the buyer. By God thus bought, that is, by Christ, they should not be servants of men. Servants of men they are, who are subject to human irrationality. The Apostle reminds them of this when at the beginning of the letter he reproves those who say: 'I am Paul's, and others: 'I am Apollo's.' 2 And he gives the distinguishing mark as the confession of Christ as God, when by calling ourselves servants of Christ we show that we are not servants of men. Ambrosiaster, from the Commentary On The First Letter of Saint Paul To The Corinthians, Chapter 7 1 1 Cor 7.23 2 1 Cor 1.12
