Titus 1:11
Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
James 5:2
Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.
1 Timothy 6:
5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
2 Timothy 3:
7 Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no farther; for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.

The Jews claiming racial superiority in the sense especially of their false and specious claim to have mastery over other men as their slaves– Jesus Christ condemns them as sons of the Devil for that. What the Jews were saying was a lie from Satan. Those who loveth and maketh a lie like that are damned forever.
John 8:33
They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
Outside of the Gospel until conversion
Titus 3:3
For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Judaizing Gnostics are meant here.
Titus 1:14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.
Jude 10
But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted. 11 Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core. 12 These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots, 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever.
2 Peter 2:19
Promising them liberty, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave.
Jesus Christ Speaking
John 5:43
I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name [the Antichrist who will be a Jew preaching the law that has been abrogated by the Gospel of Christ - see below, this is absolutely of extreme importance - this meant by ALL the exegesis of all of the Church Fathers], him you will receive. - and his mark
Jew preaching the law that has been abrogated by the Gospel of Christ
2 Corinthians 3:
[11] For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory. [12] Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence: [13] And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void. [14] But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void). But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
The Holy Spirit speaking through St. Paul
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
Those who loveth and maketh a lie like that are damned forever.
St. Paul's warning of the coming of the biggest slave master of all time
2Thess 2:6
And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that He who now holdeth, do hold, until He be taken out of the way. [The Lord Jesus Christ and His faithful and their profession of the true Gospel is meant - there is no secret rapture, that is cowardly absurdity. What is meant is the great apostasy, that is the "taken out of the way"; the removal by false prophets and false ecclesiastical authorities of the true preaching of the Gospel.] 8 And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, him, 9 Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, 10 And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
Slaves of Babylon destroyed with Babylon when God destroys Babylon
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Outside the kingdom of God - damned to hell forever
Apocalypse (Revelation) 22:15
Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.
That is exactly the reason for the original Pasch - Passover. God said to Pharaoh "let my people go," free them from slavery.
Pharaonic Egypt was incredibly oriented around the master-slave paradigm. The pre-born children who were ripped from the womb and disemboweled for the purposes of divination by Pharaoh's priests reading the entrails of the still barely alive and fast dying utterly innocent murdered babies (with their tiny cries) were obviously treated as chattel - slaves to the whim of the "authority" of Pharaoh and his priestly upper caste. This is part of the entire amalgam of sorcery, murder and magic in worship of Satan that obtained for them from Satan the power to try and rival Moses’ miracles that God performed for the Israelites. Any wonder why the first born of Pharaoh's Egypt were destroyed? Pharaoh was given plenty of chances but God knew his heart. In the book of Wisdom it is told that God repulsed the evil spirits upon the Egyptians that they had been worshipping in order to free His people and judge Pharaoh and his servants by their own "lights." See Book of Wisdom, Chapters 15 - 19:5. It was literally Pharaoh's obstinacy that caused the death of the Egyptian first-born. The first type of what the Passover means, as the Church Fathers teach, is as a type of the suffering that Christ would endure - He took upon Himself the sins of mankind upon His Most Holy Cross, the only One True Holocaust – sacrifice and offering to God for sin, though He was utterly innocent of any transgression ever, nor is it ever possible that He ever could be in the least guilty of or party to any sin. Secondly, it is judgment upon the ungodly.
Prophet after prophet castigated the Israelites for behaving in the same way as Pharaoh and his priests. One example of a huge number:
Isaiah 57:5
v.5 Who inflame yourselves among the oaks,
Under every luxuriant tree,
Who slaughter the children in the ravines,
Under the clefts of the crags?
God's command and Pharaoh's hard heart.
