The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;

The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

An abomination to Jehovah are the perverse of heart, And the perfect of the way are His delight.
