Greet one another with a kiss of love.To all of you who are in Christ, may there be peace.

So put aside every trace of malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander and hateful speech;

Servants, be submissive to your masters with all [proper] respect, not only to those who are good and kind, but also to those who are unreasonable.

After all, what kind of credit is there if, when you do wrong and are punished for it, you endure it patiently? But if when you do what is right and patiently bear [undeserved] suffering, this finds favor with God.
