1 Timothy 6:1-2

1 Timothy 6:1-2

Let all who are under a yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. 2 Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved.

Teach and urge these things.

Adam preaches 1 Tim. 6:1-2. Paul directs slaves in the church at Ephesus to serve and respect their masters, regardless of their masters' spiritual condition, so that the message of the cross would remain credible.
