Ephesians 6:9

Context

6:9 Masters, 1  treat your slaves 2  the same way, 3  giving up the use of threats, 4  because you know that both you and they have the same master in heaven, 5  and there is no favoritism with him.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 tn Though the Greek text only has αὐτούς (autous, “them”), the antecedent is the slaves of the masters. Therefore, it was translated this way to make it explicit in English.

3 tn Grk “do the same things to them.”

4 tn Grk “giving up the threat.”

5 tn Grk “because of both they and you, the Lord is, in heaven…”
