Ephesians 6:5

6:5 Slaves, ¹⁰  obey your human masters ¹¹  with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart as to Christ,

[1:7]  ¹ tn Grk “in whom” (the relative clause of v. 7 is subordinate to v. 6). The “him” refers to Christ.

[1:7]  ² sn In this context his blood, the blood of Jesus Christ, refers to the price paid for believers’ redemption, which is the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross.

[1:19]  ³ tn Or “immeasurable, surpassing”

[1:19]  ⁴ tn Or “for, to”

[1:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “according to.”

[1:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “according to the exercise of the might of his strength.”

[3:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “that.” In Greek v. 16 is a subordinate clause to vv. 14-15.

[3:20]  ⁷ sn On the power that is working within us see 1:19-20.

[3:20]  ⁸ tn Or “infinitely beyond,” “far more abundantly than.”

[6:5]  ⁹ tn Traditionally, “Servants” (KJV). Though δοῦλος (doulos) is often translated “servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. BDAG notes that “‘servant’ for ‘slave’ is largely confined to Biblical transl. and early American times…in normal usage at the present time the two words are carefully distinguished” (BDAG 260 s.v.). The most accurate translation is “bondservant” (sometimes found in the ASV for δοῦλος), in that it often indicates one who sells himself into slavery to another. But as this is archaic, few today understand its force.

[6:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the masters according to the flesh.” In the translation above, the article τοῖς (tois) governing κυρίοις (kuriois) is rendered in English as a possessive pronoun (i.e., “your”) and the prepositional phrase κατὰ σάρκα (kata sarka) is taken as modifying κυρίοις (indicating that the author is referring to human masters) and not modifying the imperative ὑπακούετε (Jupakouete, which would indicate that obedience was according to a human standard or limitation).
