Part of Ephesians Chapter 6
5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,
8because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
9And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
I don't get why you would not rebel.
I don't get how a master would compare to anything of Jesus Christ, and because of that, why anyone would serve that master.
If as a slave you had to do something ungodly...... "as if you were serving the Lord"?!
I only get verse 9 in this case..
I think this was part of the Bible where some leaders in the late 1700s used to justify slavery.
This is all so confusing :[
