Ephesians 6:5-9 - Slaves And Masters

⁵ Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with reverence and humility, in singleness of heart as if to Christ himself; ⁶ not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but as the slaves of Christ, doing the will of God; ⁷ slaving with good-will from your heart, as for the Lord and not for men; ⁸ because you know that whatever good any man does, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be slave or free man. ⁹ And you masters, show the same spirit to your slaves, and stop threatening them; for you know that your masters and theirs is in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons with him.

¹ Let those who are under the yoke as slaves esteem their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teachings be not blasphemed. ² Those whose masters are Christian believers must not treat them with disrespect, because they are brothers; nay, rather slave for them the better because those who get the benefit of their services are believing and beloved.
