Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse.

So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or as a troublemaker.

Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God.
