NETBible

That 1  servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or do what his master asked 2  will receive a severe beating.

NET Notes

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “or do according to his will”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This example deals with the slave who knew what the command was and yet failed to complete it.
