Since you know that it is from the Master that you will receive the inheritance which will be your recompense. You are serving Christ, the Master.

Masters, [on your part] deal with your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

Slaves, always obey your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you, as if you had but to please men, but giving them ungrudging service, in your reverence for the Master.

For he who does wrong will be punished for his wrongdoing, and [with God] there is no partiality [no special treatment based on a person’s position in life].
