Ephesians 6:5-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Slaves and Masters
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect[a] and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ,(A) 6 not with a slavery performed merely for looks, to please people, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul. 7 Render service with enthusiasm, as for the Lord and not for humans, 8 knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are enslaved or free.
9 And, masters,[b] do the same to them. Stop threatening them, for you know that both of you have the same Lord[c] in heaven, and with him there is no partiality.(B)
