Thematic Bible: Master's duty
Thematic Bible
Master's duty » Prompt payment of wages
Do not oppress your neighbor and do not rob him. Do not fail to pay your workers at the end of each day.
Pay him his wages on the workday day before the sunsets. He is poor and sets his heart on it. He will not complain against you to Jehovah and it becomes your sin.
Master's duty » Just dealing
Masters, give your servants that which is just and equal. You know that you also have a Master in heaven.
Master's duty » Refraining from threats
You masters, do the same things to them. Do not threaten! You know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven. There is no favoritism with him.
Master's duty » Consideration for employees
If I have rejected the cause of my male or female slaves, when they brought a complaint against me what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
