Bible References

Be

Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.

Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.

All who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters to be worthy of all respect, so that God’s name and His teaching will not be blasphemed.

Slaves are to be submissive to their masters in everything, and to be well-pleasing, not talking back

The good

Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ—I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

to slander no one, to avoid fighting, and to be kind, always showing gentleness to all people.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.

But

A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with evil.

for the devious are detestable to the Lord,
but He is a friend to the upright.

To fear the Lord is to hate evil.
I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct,
and perverse speech.

The lips of the righteous know what is appropriate,
but the mouth of the wicked, only what is perverse.

>

Those with twisted minds are detestable to the Lord,
but those with blameless conduct are His delight.
