Ephesians 6:5-9
Legacy Standard Bible

5 (A)Slaves, be obedient to those who are your [a]masters according to the flesh, with (B)fear and trembling, in the [b]integrity of your heart, (C)as to Christ; 6 (D)not [c]by way of eyeservice, as (E)men-pleasers, but as (F)slaves of Christ, (G)doing the will of God from the [d]heart, 7 serving with good will (H)as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 (I)knowing that (J)whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, (K)whether slave or free.

9 And masters, do the same things to them, (L)giving up threatening, knowing that (M)both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is (N)no partiality with Him.

Ephesians 6:5-9
International Standard Version

Advice for Slaves and Masters

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear, trembling, and sincerity, as when you obey[a] the Messiah.[b] 6 Do not do this only while you’re being watched in order to please them, but be like slaves of the Messiah,[c] who are determined to obey God’s will. 7 Serve willingly, as if you were serving the Lord and not merely people,[d] 8 because you know that everyone will receive a reward from the Lord for whatever good he has done, whether he is a slave or free.

9 Masters, treat your slaves[e] the same way. Do not threaten them, for you know that both of you have the same Master in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
