Bible verses about "bosses" | Etheridge

²⁶ but it shall not be so among you; but whoever among you willeth to be great, let him be minister to you.

⁹ So you, masters,[Or, lords.] do likewise to your servants; forgiving them a fault; ["Faults." WALTON'S Polyglot.] or you know also that your Master is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

¹ Let those who are under the yoke of servitude hold their masters in all honour, that the name of Aloha and his doctrine be not blasphemed. ² But let not those who have believing masters slight them, because they are their brethren; but serve them the more, because they are believers, and beloved who are refreshed by their ministry. These things teach and require of them.

¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you.

²² Servants, obey in every thing your masters according to the flesh, not in the sight of the eye (only), as those who please men, but from a simple heart, and in the fear of the Lord. ²³ And all that you do, from all your heart do (it), as to our Lord, and not as to men. ²⁴ And know that from our Lord you receive the reward in the inheritance; for the Lord the Meshiha you serve. ²⁵ But he who injureth is recompensed as he had injured, and there is no acceptance of persons.[Faces.]

¹ LET every soul to the powers of dominion be subject. For there is no power that is not from Aloha, and the powers that be, of Aloha are they instituted. ² Whoever then riseth up against the power, against the institution of Aloha he riseth; and they who arise against them will receive judgment. ³ For judges are not a terror to the workers of good, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do good, and thou shalt have praise from him. ⁴ For he is the servant of Aloha, but to thee for good: and if thou do evil, fear; for not in vain is he girded with the sword; for he is the servant of Aloha, and the dispenser of wrath to them who do evil. ⁵ And because of this are we bound to be subject, not for the wrath only, but also because of conscience. ⁶ On this account also give we tribute [Lit. "head-silver."] to them; for they are the servants of Aloha over these things constituted. ⁷ Render therefore to every man as is due to him: to whom tribute [Lit. "head-silver."] (is due,) tribute;[Lit. "head-silver."] and to whom custom, custom; and to whom reverence, reverence; and to whom honour, honour. ⁸ And to no man owe any thing, but one another to love. For whoever loveth his neighbour fulfilleth the law: ⁹ for that also which it hath said, Thou shalt not kill; and, Thou shalt not commit adultery; and, Thou shalt not steal; and, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, in this word it is accomplished, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love unto his neighbour evil worketh not: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. ¹¹ AND also this know, that the time is, and the hour is, when we should be awake from our sleep; for now hath drawn nearer to us our salvation than when we believed. ¹² The night now passeth away, and the day hath drawn nigh; put we away then from us the works of darkness, and let us clothe with the arms of light. ¹³ And as in the day, let us walk decorously, not with the song, nor with drunkenness, nor in the unclean chamber, nor in envy and in contention; ¹⁴ but let (every one) clothe himself with our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and care not for your flesh unto the lusts (thereof).

⁵ Servants, be subject to your masters who are according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, and with simplicity of heart, as unto the Meshiha: ⁶ not in the sight of the eyes, as if you were pleasing men (only), but as the servants of Meshiha who do the will of Aloha. ⁷ And serve them from all your soul, in love, as unto our Lord, and not as unto men; ⁸ knowing that whatever good a man doeth he is rewarded by our Lord, whether he be a servant or a son of freedom.
