5 ^eBondservants, ^{▼▼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, ^hwith a sincere heart, ⁱas you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as ^jpeople-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

But ^pif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For ^qto this you have been called, ^rbecause Christ also suffered for you, ^sleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 ^tHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 ^uWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, ^vbut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 ^wHe himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we ^xmight die to sin and ^ylive to righteousness. ^zBy his wounds you have been healed. 25 For ^aayou were straying like sheep, but have now returned to ^abthe Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

1 Peter 5:5-6

6 ^aeHumble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
