Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

With goodwill render service, as to the Lord, and not to people,

With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive this back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

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.
