17:7 “Would any one of you say 1 to your slave 2 who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, ‘Come at once and sit down for a meal’? 3 17:8 Won’t 4 the master 5 instead say to him, ‘Get my dinner ready, and make yourself ready 6 to serve me while 7 I eat and drink. Then 8 you may eat and drink’? 17:9 He won’t thank the slave because he did what he was told, 9 will he? 10 17:10 So you too, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are slaves undeserving of special praise; 11 we have only done what was our duty.’” 12
