“Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.”
Let all who are under the yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed — the slave-master relationship (douloō) requires respect (timē) to prevent the gospel's reputation (onoma theou) from suffering damage through Christian insubordination. Ecclesial conduct bears public witness.
