Chapter 75

That bond-servants must obey their masters according to the flesh to the glory of God with all good will, in all things in which the commandment of God is not broken. Eph. vi. 5 omit τῆς before καρδίας*; 6 omit τοῦ before Χριστοῦ; 7; 8 add τοῦ before Κυρίου K; 1 Tim. vi. 1; 2; Tit. ii. 9; 10. 2That masters, remembering their true Master, whatever service they enjoy from their bond-servants should return the same to them according to their ability, in the fear of God and in kindness towards them, imitating the Lord. Jn. xiii. 3–5; 13; 14; 15 omit ἐγώ*; Eph. vi. 9 ὑμῶν αὐτῶν for αὐτῶν καὶ ὑμῶν K, omit ὁ before Κύριος*.
