Duties of Servants

Duties of Servants

Colossians 3:22 


Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.


Titus 2:9 


Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them,


1 Timothy 6:9 


People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.


1 Corinthians 7:17 


Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.


1 Peter 2:18 


Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.


Matthew 24:45-51 


45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 


46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 


47 I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 


48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 


49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 


50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 


51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
