²⁹ And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.

⁶ And ye know that will all my power I have served your father.

³⁸ These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.

³⁹ That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

⁴⁰ Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.

⁵ And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

⁵ Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

⁶ not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

⁷ with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:

⁸ knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether `he be' bond or free.

²² Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:

²³ whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.

²⁵ For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

⁹ `Exhort' servants to be in subjection to their own masters, `and' to be well-pleasing `to them' in all things; not gainsaying;

¹⁰ not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

¹⁵ For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁸ Servants, `be' in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
