- Epigraph
- Slaves, obey in all things your massters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God. And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the lord, and not unto men; knowing ... (show all)that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Jesus Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done, and there is no respect of persons. Masters, give unto your slaves that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.---Colossians 3:22-25
