1 Timothy · Πρὸς Τιμόθεον Αʹ

1 Timothy 6:1

Ὅσοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι, τοὺς ἰδίους δεσπότας πάσης τιμῆς ἀξίους ἡγείσθωσαν, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἡ διδασκαλία βλασφημῆται.
Osoi eisin ypo zygon doyloi, toys idioys despotas pasēs timēs axioys ēgeisthōsan, ina mē to onoma toy Theoy kai ē didaskalia blasphēmētai.
King James Version (KJV)

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

Modern English

All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered.
