“Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;”
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ — the slave code: douloi hupakouō ('slaves, obey') tois kyriois kata sarka ('your earthly masters') en phobō kai tremō ('in fear and trembling'), en haplotes kardias ('in sincerity of heart'), hōs Christō ('as to Christ'), subordination now theodicized.
