²⁶ But whoever wishes to be great among you, let him be your minister;

⁹ And, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, knowing also that their master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

^{1 (2:11)} Let as many servants as are under the yoke account their masters worthy of all honor, that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed. ² And let those who have believing masters not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather serve, because they are believers and beloved, who partake of the benefit. ^(2:12) These things teach and exhort.

^{17 (5:7)} Obey your guides and be in subjection; for they watch for your souls as having to give an account, that they may do this with joy and not with grief; for this is unprofitable for you.

²² Servants, obey in all things masters according to the flesh, not with eye service, as those pleasing men, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord. ²³ And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men; ²⁴ knowing that you will receive from the Lord the recompense of the inheritance. You serve Christ the Lord; ²⁵ for he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done, and there is no respect of persons.

^{1 (9:3)} Let every soul be subject to the superior powers. For there is no power except from God, and the [powers] which exist have been ordained by God. ² So that he who resists the power resists the ordinance of God; and those who resist shall receive judgment on themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Will you not fear the power? Do good, and you shall have praise from it; ⁴ for [the power] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister of justice for punishment to him that does evil. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience. ^{6 (9:4)} For on this account also you pay taxes; for [magistrates] are servants of God attending constantly to this same thing. ⁷ Pay to all their dues; a tax to whom a tax is due, a toll to whom a toll is due, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor. ⁸ Owe no man any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another has fully performed the law. ⁹ For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not desire inordinately, and if there is any other commandment, it is summarily comprehended in this word; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ¹⁰ Love does no evil to a neighbor; love therefore is the sum of the law. ¹¹ And [do] this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour that we should be waked from sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night is far advanced, and the day is at hand; let us lay aside therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelries and drinking, not in lewdness and excesses, not in strife and envy; ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

^{5 (2:8)} Servants, be subject to masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your hearts as to Christ, ⁶ not with eye service as pleasing men, but as servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart, ⁷ performing service kindly as to the Lord and not to men, ⁸ knowing that whatever good each one does, for this he shall receive from the Lord, whether a servant or a freeman.
