Ephesians 6:5-9

The Darby Translation DBY

5 Bondmen, obey masters according to flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as to the Christ;

6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul,

7 serving with good will as to the Lord, and not to men;

8 knowing that whatever good each shall do, this he shall receive of [the] Lord, whether bond or free.

9 And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him.

New International Version NIV

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,

8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
