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. |

12 Therefore, I urge you,
brothers and sisters, in view
of God’s mercy, to offer your
bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and pleasing to God—
this is your true and
proper worship.
2 Do not conform to the pattern
of this world, but
be transformed by the
renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is—
his good, pleasing and perfect will. |
