Ephesians 6:9
And ye masters. The Roman law allowed masters to treat their slaves
as brute beasts, to abuse and even to murder them. But Christianity at
once put Christian masters under restraint.
Do the same things unto them. Act on the same principles towards
them, that the Lord requires of them towards you. There must be mutual
good will and mutual service.
Forbearing threatening. The habit of cruel masters.
Knowing that your Master also is in heaven. That you have a Master
who sees you, to whom your slave is just as dear as you are, and who
will hold you to account if you wrong him.
