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.

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.

“ Or suppose I send swords to kill the people in that country. And I say,‘ Let swords sweep all through the land.’ And I kill its people and their animals.And suppose these three men were in that country. Then they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.“ Or suppose I send a plague into that land. And I pour out my great anger on it by spilling blood. I kill its people and their animals.And suppose Noah, Daniel and Job were in that land. Then they could not save their own sons or daughters. They could save only themselves by doing what is right. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.The Lord and King says,“ It will get much worse. I will punish Jerusalem in four horrible ways. There will be war, hunger, wild animals and plague. They will destroy the people and their animals.

Don’t you have any faith at all yet?”They were terrified. They asked each other,“ Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Praise him, lightning and hail, snow and clouds. Praise him, you stormy winds that obey him.

“ Can you give orders to the clouds? Can you make them pour rain down on you?Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you,‘ Here we are’?

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.

He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.They were unsteady like people who have become drunk. They didn’t know what to do.Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.

I myself am a man who is under authority. And I have soldiers who obey my orders. I tell this one,‘ Go,’ and he goes. I tell that one,‘ Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant,‘ Do this,’ and he does it.”
