1 Peter 2:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Submission of Slaves to Masters
18 Household slaves, submit with all fear(A) to your masters,(B) not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.[a](C) 19 For it brings favor[b] if, mindful of God’s will,[c][d] someone endures grief from suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is there if you sin and are punished, and you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer,(D) if you endure it, this brings favor with God.
