"Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,"
— Ephesians 6:5, NET Bible
“Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;”
“Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; ”
“Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;”
“Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ.”
“Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;”
“Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;”
“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely,
“that it will go well with you and that you will live a long time on the earth.”
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,
not like those who do their work only when someone is watching– as people-pleasers– but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart.
Obey with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord and not people,
because you know that each person, whether slave or free, if he does something good, this will be rewarded by the Lord.
