- Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
- Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,
- because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
- And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
- Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

- Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
- With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
- Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
- And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
- Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
