Oh but it does. Here's just a little sample :
Slaveholders justified the practice by citing the Bible ...
They asked who could question the Word of God when it said, "slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling" (Ephesians 6:5), or "tell slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect" (Titus 2:9).
