1 Timothy6:1
1 LEt as many servants as are under the yoke , count their own masters worthy of all honour : that the name of God, and his doctrine be not blasphemed .
Under the yoke of servitude, not being manumised, or made free.
Abundant honour, let Christian Servants give their Masters instead of less, double the honour which Pagan Servants do.
For the credit of the Gospel, and for the honour of God; that none may say that Religion teacheth Servants any disobedience, or breaketh the bands of civil Relations: but on the contrary that it obligeth Professors to a more faithful, and full discharge of such duties, Servants to be the best of Servants, &c.
