⁸ He said, "Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, where did you come from? Where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai."

⁹ Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

¹⁰ Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground.

⁴ If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don't leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.

¹ Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

⁴ He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

¹⁹ Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Yahweh that has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Yahweh: for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to Yahweh's inheritance, saying, Go, serve other gods.

¹⁷ Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?

¹⁸ Now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

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

⁶ not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

⁷ with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;

⁸ knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

¹ Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.

² Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
