Slaves and Masters

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Do not try to please them only when they are watching you, but act like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve with a good attitude, [fn]as rendering service to the Lord and not men, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free. 9 Masters, do the same for your slaves and stop threatening them, because you know that [fn]your own Master is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
