Slaves and Masters

Ephesians 6

5 e Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, f with fear and trembling, g in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; 6 h not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 i knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. 9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that 1 your own j Master also is in heaven, and k there is no partiality with Him.
