Servants’ Duty to Their Masters

We shall not use the word servant in the sense of a slave, but in the sense of a hired man or woman. They are to be subject to their employers (1 Peter 2:18); to obey them (Ephesians 6:5); to please them well in all things (Titus 2:9); should serve them with good will (Ephesians 6:7); should honor them (1 Tim. 6:1); must not defraud them (Titus 2:10); should be profitable unto them and do them good service (Philemon 1:11); should not serve them faithfully just to please man, but because it is right, in the sight of God (Ephesians 6:6; Colossians 3:22).
