Master and Servant
[5] Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. [6] Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. [7] Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, [8] because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
[9] 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.
---------
[9] Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, [10] and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
---------
[18] The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and whoever protects their master will be honored.
---------
[19] Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.
---------
[10] “Do not slander a servant to their master,
or they will curse you, and you will pay for it.
---------
Keep the Faith. Best regards,
Brother Ron, N.D.S.M.D.
