Be

Servants, be obedient unto your carnal masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ:

Servants, be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things: not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart fearing God.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God, and his doctrine be not evil spoken of.

The servants exhort to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please in all things, not answering again,

The good

I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and softness of Christ, which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold toward you being absent.

But the fruit of the spirit is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance.

that they speak evil of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, showing all meekness unto all men.

but the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without simulation.

But

A froward heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.

for the LORD abhorreth the froward, but his secret is among the righteous.

With me is the fear of the LORD, and the eschewing of evil. As for pride, disdain, and evil way, and a mouth that speaketh wicked things, I utterly abhor them.

The lips of the righteous are occupied in acceptable things; but the mouth of the ungodly taketh them to the worst.

The LORD abhorreth a fained heart; but he hath pleasure in them that are undefiled.
