Be

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

Slaves, obey your {human} masters in everything, not {while being watched}, as people pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

All those who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the name of God and the teaching be slandered.

Slaves must be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not to talk back,

The good

Now I, Paul, appeal to you myself by the humility and gentleness of Christ, who {when I am present in person} [am] humble among you, but [when I] am absent am bold toward you--

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

to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all courtesy to all people.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, nonjudgmental, without hypocrisy,

But

A perverse heart will depart from me; I will not know evil.

for he who is perverse [is] an abomination of Yahweh, but those who are upright [are] his confidence.

The fear of Yahweh [is] hatred of evil, pride, and arrogance and an evil way. And I hate a mouth of perversity.

The lips of the righteous know [the] acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, the perverse.

An abomination of Yahweh [are] the {crooked of heart}, but his delight [are] {those with blameless ways}.
