And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.

Masters, give your servants what is right and equal, conscious that you have a Master in heaven.

See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.

Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;

All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.

Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough.

But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming;

But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine;

For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant.

Your master
