'Toward' in the Bible

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,

[and He did this] so that in the ages to come He might [clearly] show the immeasurable and unsurpassed riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us in Christ Jesus [by providing for our redemption].

[and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church];

You masters, do the same [showing goodwill] toward them, and give up threatening and abusive words, knowing that [He who is] both their true Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with Him [regardless of one’s earthly status].
