6:5 Slaves and masters

5 Slaves, submit to your human masters with respect and fear, being sincere in your hearts as if serving the messiah.[ref] 6 Don’t just please them when they’re watching, but work as slaves of the messiah, genuinely wanting to obey God 7 by serving with good will. When you serve as if serving the master and not people, 8 whether you’re a slave or free, it’s him who will reward you.

9 Masters, do the same towards your slaves.[ref] You know that both the slaves and you have the same master in the heavens, so don’t threaten them because our master has no favourites.[ref]

5 The Slaves be_submitting to_your masters according_to flesh with respect and trembling, in sincerity of_the heart of_you_all as to_the chosen_one/messiah,

6 not with eyeservice as men_pleasing, but as slaves of_chosen_one/messiah, doing the will of_ the _god from the_heart,

7 with good_will serving as to_the master, and not to_people,

8 having_known that each if may_do good, this he_will_be_receiving_back from the_master, whether slave or free.

9 And the masters, be_doing the same things toward them, giving_up the threat, having_known that the Master both of_them and of_you_all is in the_heavens, and favouritism is not with him.
