All the modern versions have 'slaves' instead of 'servant'.
They are all wrong.

I don't think they are wrong. The word DOULOS means chattel slave. It most certainly does not mean a free man who is merely a subservient employee.

The word is correctly translated in the KJB as servant.

The word 'servant' has the implication of free will desiring to serve, the word 'slave' doesn't.
