Psalms 123:2

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
till he has mercy upon us.

The Priests’ Polluted Offerings

6 ^a“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am ^ba father, where is my honor? And if I am ^ca master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. ^dBut you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’

Matthew 8:9

9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ^{▼▼Greek bondservant} ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Luke 6:46

Ephesians 6:5-7

Bondservants and Masters

5 ^hBondservants, ^{▼▼Or slaves; also verse 6 (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)} obey your earthly masters ^{▼▼Or your masters according to the flesh} with fear and trembling, ^kwith a sincere heart, ^las you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as ^mpeople-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,

Colossians 3:20

20 Children, obey your parents ⁿin everything, for this pleases the Lord.

1 Timothy 6:1-2

1 ^oLet all who are under a yoke as bondservants ^{▼▼Or slaves (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)} regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, ^qso that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. 2 Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are ^rbrothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved.
