5
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
6
Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart.
7
Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
8
Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.
9
Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Don’t threaten them; remember, you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favorites.
