2:18 Slaves, ¹  be subject ²  to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse. 2:19 For this finds God’s favor, ³  if because of conscience toward God ⁴  someone endures hardships in suffering unjustly. 2:20 For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God. ⁵  2:21 For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.
