Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Simple English
They made themselves very humble. They let themselves become slaves. They let themselves be hit, driven around, and made to carry heavy loads. Their enemies could do whatever they wanted to them.
Paraphrase
They humbled themselves completely, accepting the yoke of slavery, submitting to beatings, to being driven around like animals, to being burdened however their enemies pleased.
