22Bondservants, ▼▼Or Slaves; also 4:1 (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)
obey bin everything those who are your earthly masters, ▼▼Or your masters according to the flesh
not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 1 Timothy 6:1-2
1 dLet 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, fso that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. 2Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are gbrothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved. False Teachers and True Contentment
hTeach and urge these things.
