Ephesians 6:9
_ _ the same things — Mutatis mutandis. Show the same regard to God’s will, and to your servants’ well-being, in your relation to them, as they ought to have in their relation to you. Love regulates the duties both of servants and masters, as one and the same light attempers various colors. Equality of nature and faith is superior to distinctions of rank [Bengel]. Christianity makes all men brothers: compare Leviticus 25:42, Leviticus 25:43; Deuteronomy 15:12; Jeremiah 34:14 as to how the Hebrews were bound to treat their brethren in service; much more ought Christians to act with love.
_ _ threatening — Greek, “the threatening” which masters commonly use. “Masters” in the Greek, is not so strong a term as “despots”: it implies authority, but not absolute domination.
_ _ your Master also — The oldest manuscripts read, “the Master both of them and you”: “their Master and yours.” This more forcibly brings out the equality of slaves and masters in the sight of God. Seneca [Thyestes, 607], says, “Whatever an inferior dreads from you, this a superior Master threatens yourselves with: every authority here is under a higher above.” As you treat your servants, so will He treat you.
_ _ neither ... respect of persons — He will not, in judging, acquit thee because thou art a master, or condemn him because he is a servant (Acts 10:34; Romans 2:11; Galatians 2:6; Colossians 3:25; 1 Peter 1:17). Derived from Deuteronomy 10:17; 2 Chronicles 19:7. |
Ephesians 6:9
Do the same things to them — That is, act toward them from the same principle. Forbearing threatening — Behaving with gentleness and humanity, not in a harsh or domineering way. |
Ephesians 6:9
(11) And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there (f) respect of persons with him.
(11) It is the duty of masters to use the authority that they have over their servants, modestly and in a holy manner, seeing that they in another respect have a common master who is in heaven, who will judge both the servant and the free.
(f) Either of freedom or bondage. |
