Slaves and Masters

Ephesians 6

⁵ _v Slaves, ₁ obey your earthly masters ₂ with fear and trembling, _w with a sincere heart, _x as you would Christ, ⁶ not by the way of eye-service, as _y people-pleasers, but as servants ₃ of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, ⁷ rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, ⁸ _z knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, _a whether he is a slave or free. ⁹ Masters, do the same to them, _b and stop your threatening, knowing that _c he who is both their Master ₄ and yours is in heaven, and that _d there is no partiality with him.
