⁷ Serve eagerly as if you were serving your heavenly master and not merely serving human masters. ⁸ You know that your heavenly master will reward all of us for whatever good we do, whether we’re slaves or free people.

⁹ Masters, treat your slaves with respect. Don’t threaten a slave. You know that there is one master in heaven who has authority over both of you, and he doesn’t play favorites.
