δουλος is the usual word for slave, one who is permanently in

servitude, in subjection to a master.

θεραπων is simply one who renders service at a particular time,

sometimes as a slave, more often as a freeman, who renders voluntary

service prompted by duty or love. It denotes one who serves, in

his relation to a person.

διακονος also may designate either a slave or a freeman, it denotes

a servant viewed in relation to his work.

οικετης designates a slave, sometimes being practically equivalent

to δουλος. Usually, however, as the etymology of the term

indicates, it means a slave as a member of the household, not

emphasizing the servile idea, but rather the relation which would tend

to mitigate the severity of his condition.

υπηρετης means literally an under-rower, and was used to describe

an ordinary rower on a war-galley. It is then used, as in the N.T., to

indicate any man, not a slave, who served in a subordinate position

under a superior.
