F. Relationship Between Slaves and Masters (6:1-2)

Slaves who are Christians are still to render their masters all honor even when their masters are believers. This is a good testimony in the community. Under the yoke graphically describes the slave. Full respect (honor) is the same word used concerning widows (5:3) and elders (5:17). Serve them even better illustrates how Christians are to relate to one another (see Gal 6:10).
