⁸ and he saith, `Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence hast thou come, and whither dost thou go?' and she saith, `From the presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.'

⁹ And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him, `Where `art' thou?'

¹⁰ And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;

⁴ If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners.

¹ And Sarai, Abram's wife, hath not borne to him, and she hath an handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name `is' Hagar;

⁴ and he goeth in unto Hagar, and she conceiveth, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and her mistress is lightly esteemed in her eyes.

¹⁹ And, now, let, I pray thee, my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if Jehovah hath moved thee against me, let Him accept a present; and if the sons of men -- cursed `are' they before Jehovah, for they have cast me out to-day from being admitted into the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

¹⁷ Dost thou not do this to thyself? `By' thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, At the time He is leading thee in the way?

¹⁸ And now, what -- to thee in the way of Egypt, To drink the waters of Sihor? And what -- to thee in the way of Asshur, To drink the waters of the River?

⁵ The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;

⁶ not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul,

⁷ with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men,

⁸ having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman.

¹ As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

² and those having believing masters, let them not slight `them', because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;
