UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

δούλους ἰδίοις δεσπόταις ὑποτάσσεσθαι

slaves ˱to˲_/their/_own masters /to_be/_being_subjected

As in 2:2 and 2:3, Paul is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be clearer in your language, you could apply the verbal idea from verse 6 to here, which is “urge” or “exhort.” Alternate translation: “Exhort slaves to be subject to their own masters” or “Exhort slaves to obey their own masters”

ἐν πᾶσιν

in all_‹things›

Alternate translation: “in every situation” or “always”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εὐαρέστους εἶναι

well_pleasing to_be

The implication is that the slaves are to be pleasing to their masters. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “to please their masters” or “to satisfy their masters”
