²²^*Slaves, obey your human masters in all things, not only when they are watching you because you want to gain their approval; but do it with a sincere heart because of your reverence for the Lord. ²³^*Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for human beings. ²⁴^*Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve. ²⁵^*And wrongdoers will be repaid for the wrong things they do, because God judges everyone by the same standard.

4^*Masters, be fair and just in the way you treat your slaves. Remember that you too have a Master in heaven.

Read in Logos
