22 [a]Servants, obey in all things them that are your [b]masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 23 whatsoever ye do, work [c]heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 For he that doeth wrong shall [d]receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. [e]Masters, render unto your [f]servants that which is just and [g]equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
