Duties of Servants and Masters

6 All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their own masters as deserving of the highest respect,^[a] so that the name of God and our teaching may not be discredited.^{[b] 2} Moreover, those who have believing masters should be respectful to them, because they are fellow believers.^[c] In fact, they must serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers and dear to them. These are the things you must teach and exhort.
