Titus 2:10

Sound Instruction And Consistent Behavior

⁹ Slaves should be in subjection to their own masters in everything. They should try hard to please them, without talking back ¹⁰ or keeping [part of their master's] property for themselves, but proving to be completely trustworthy, so that they will make the teaching of God our Savior attractive in every way. ¹¹ For God's unearned favor has appeared, bringing salvation to all people [i.e., in the coming of Christ].
