Efesus 6:9

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.

[6:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:9]  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.

[6:9]  ³ tn Grk “do the same things to them.”

[6:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “giving up the threat.”

[6:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “because of both they and you, the Lord is, in heaven…”
