Jacob said to him,“ You know how hard I’ve worked for you. You know that your livestock has done better under my care.

Slaves, obey your masters out of deep respect for God. Obey not only those who are good and kind. Obey also those who are not kind.

“ I’ve been with you for 20 years now. The little ones of your sheep and goats were not dead when they were born. I haven’t eaten rams from your flocks.I didn’t bring you animals torn apart by wild beasts. I made up for the loss myself. Also, you made me pay for anything stolen by day or night.And what was my life like? The heat burned me in the daytime. And it was so cold at night that I froze. I couldn’t sleep.That’s what it was like for the 20 years I was living with you. I worked for 14 years to marry your two daughters. I worked for six years to get my share of your flocks. You changed my pay ten times.But the God of my father was with me. He is the God of Abraham and the God Isaac worshiped. If he hadn’t been with me, you would surely have sent me away without anything to show for all my work. But God has seen my hard times. He has seen all the work my hands have done. So last night he warned you.”

Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything they do. Tell them to try to please their masters. They must not talk back to them.They must not steal from them. Instead, they must show that they can be trusted completely. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior appealing in every way.

Slaves, obey your masters here on earth. Respect them and honor them with a heart that is true. Obey them just as you would obey Christ.Don’t obey them only to please them when they are watching. Do it because you are slaves of Christ. Be sure your heart does what God wants.Serve your masters with all your heart. Work as serving the Lord and not as serving people.You know that the Lord will give each person a reward. He will give it to them in keeping with the good they do. It doesn’t matter whether they are a slave or not.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything. Don’t do it just to please them when they are watching you. Obey them with an honest heart. Do it out of respect for the Lord.Work at everything you do with all your heart. Work as if you were working for the Lord, not for human masters.Work because you know that you will finally receive as a reward what the Lord wants you to have. You are slaves of the Lord Christ.Anyone who does wrong will be paid back for what they do. God treats everyone the same.
