你們作僕人的，要存著敬畏、戰兢和真誠的心，聽從世上的主人，好像聽從基督一樣。作事不要只作給人看，像那些討人歡心的一樣，卻要像基督的僕人，從心裡遵行神的旨意，甘心服務，像是服事主，不是服事人。你們知道，無論是奴僕或自由的人，如果作了甚麼善事，都必從主那裡得到賞賜。

“我必不進我的家（“家”原文作“家的帳棚”），也必不上我的床榻。我必不容我的眼睛睡覺，也不容我的眼瞼打盹；直到我為耶和華找著一個地方，為雅各的大能者找到居所。”

奴僕有信主的主人，不可因為他們是弟兄而輕看他們；倒要加意服事他們，因為這些受到服事的益處的，是信主蒙愛的人。你要把這些事教導人，勸勉人。

人若喝我所賜的水，就永遠不渴。我所賜的水要在他裡面成為湧流的泉源，直湧到永生。”
