But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not leave as a free man,’

And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
“But if the slave declares, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I do not want to leave as a free man,’
However, if the slave clearly states, “I love my master, my wife, and my children, and I don’t want to go free,”
Nevertheless, if the slave declares, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children, so I don’t want to go free,’

But if the servant say thus, I love my master, my wife and my children, I will not go out free,
But if he makes this statement: ‘I hereby declare my love for my master, my wife, and my children. I don’t want to leave as a free man,’
But if the slave declares that he loves his master, his wife, and his children and does not want to be set free,
“But if the slave declares: ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I do not want to leave as a free man,’
“But the slave might say, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children. I don’t want to go free.’

“When you buy a Hebrew slave, he will serve six years. The seventh year he goes free, for nothing. If he came in single he leaves single. If he came in married he leaves with his wife. If the master gives him a wife and she gave him sons and daughters, the wife and children stay with the master and he leaves by himself. But suppose the slave should say, ‘I love my master and my wife and children—I don’t want my freedom,’ then his master is to bring him before God and to a door or doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl, a sign that he is a slave for life.
However, if the servant plainly says, “I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free,”
But if he makes this statement: ‘I hereby declare my love for my master, my wife, and my children. I don’t want to leave as a free man,’
If, however, the slave declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children; I will not leave as a free person,’
But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not leave as a free man,’
But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out as a free man,’

“But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’
‘But if the servant declares, “I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,”
But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’
But if the servant says, ‘I love my owner, my wife and my children; I do not care to go free,’
