“And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.”
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 — the master code: hoi kyrioi, touto auto poieo ('masters, do the same thing'), mē apeilē ('do not threaten'), hotan eidotes hoti ho kyrios hymōn kai autōn ('knowing that the Lord of both you and them') en ouranois ('in heaven') ouch estin prosōpolēmpsia ('there is no partiality'), a radical equality in the eschatalogical hierarchy.
