New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 5 | Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, single-mindedly, as serving Christ. | Slaves and Masters Eph.6.5-9 | Οἱ δοῦλοι, ὑπακούετε τοῖς κατὰ σάρκα κυρίοις μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου ἐν ἀπλότητι τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς τῷ Χριστῷ, |
|
| 6 | Do not offer merely the outward show of service, to curry favour with men, but, as slaves of Christ, do whole-heartedly the will of God. | | μὴ κατ' ὀφθαλμοδουλίαν ὡς ἄνθρωπάρεσκοι ἀλλ' ὡς δοῦλοι Χριστοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκ ψυχῆς, |
|
| 7 | Give the cheerful service of those who serve the Lord, not men. | | μετ' εὐνοίας δουλεύοντες, ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις, |
|
| 8 | For you know that whatever good each man may do, slave or free, will be repaid him by the Lord.
| | εἰδότες ὅτι ἑκαστος, ἐάν τι ποιήσῃ ἀγαθόν, τοῦτο κομίσεται παρὰ κυρίου, εἰτε δοῦλος εἰτε ἐλεύθερος. |
|
| 9 | You masters, also, must do the same by them. Give up using threats; remember you both have the same Master in heaven, and he has no favourites.
| | Καὶ οἱ κύριοι, τὰ αὐτὰ ποιεῖτε πρὸς αὐτούς, ἀνιέντες τὴν ἀπειλήν, εἰδότες ὅτι καὶ αὐτῶν καὶ ὑμῶν ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ προσωπολημψία οὐκ ἐστιν παρ' αὐτῷ. |
