Ephesians 6:5
Slaves and Masters
5 ▼▼slave: The strong Greek word doulos cannot be accurately translated in English by "servant" or "bond servant"; the HCSB translates this word as "slave," not out of insensitivity to the legitimate concerns of modern English speakers, but out of a commitment to accurately convey the brutal reality of the Roman empire's inhumane institution as well as the ownership called for by Christ.
Slaves, obey your human ▼▼Lit according to the flesh
masters c with fear and trembling, d in the sincerity e of your heart, as to Christ.
