Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect:<br />

not only to the good <strong>and</strong> gentle, but also to the wicked.<br />

For it is commendable if someone endures pain,<br />

suffering unjustly, because of conscience towards<br />

God. For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently<br />

endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently<br />

endure suffering, this is commendable with<br />

God. For you were called to this, because Christ also<br />

suffered for us, leaving you † an example, that you<br />

should follow his steps, who didn’t sin, “neither was<br />

deceit found in his mouth. 1 Pe 2,<strong>18</strong>21 42<br />

Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh<br />

are your masters, with fear <strong>and</strong> trembling, in singleness of<br />

your heart, as to Christ, not in the way of service only when<br />

eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ,<br />

doing the will of God from the heart, with good will doing<br />

service as to the Lord, <strong>and</strong> not to men, knowing that whatever<br />

good thing each one does, he will receive the same good<br />

again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.<br />

You masters, do the same things to them, <strong>and</strong> give up<br />

threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master <strong>and</strong><br />

yours is in heaven, <strong>and</strong> there is no partiality with him.<br />

Finally, be strong in the Lord, <strong>and</strong> in the strength of his<br />

might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be<br />

able to st<strong>and</strong> against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling<br />

is not against flesh <strong>and</strong> blood, but against the principalities,<br />

against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness<br />

of this age, <strong>and</strong> against the spiritual forces of wickedness in<br />
