22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only while being watched in order to please them, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it[a] for the Lord and not merely for people. 24 You know that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Messiah[b] whom you are serving! 25 For the person who does what is wrong will be paid back for what he has done without favoritism.

Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
