1 Peter 2:18

18 Household servants, submit yourselves to your masters, showing them full respect - and not only those who are kind and considerate, but also those who are harsh.

1 Peter 2:18 In-Context

16 Submit as people who are free, but not letting your freedom serve as an excuse for evil; rather, submit as God's slaves.
17 Be respectful to all - keep loving the brotherhood, fearing God and honoring the emperor.
18 Household servants, submit yourselves to your masters, showing them full respect - and not only those who are kind and considerate, but also those who are harsh.
19 For it is a grace when someone, because he is mindful of God, bears up under the pain of undeserved punishment.
20 For what credit is there in bearing up under a beating you deserve for doing something wrong? But if you bear up under punishment, even though you have done what is right, God looks on it with favor.
