| Titus 2:9 | *Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, in all things pleasing, not contradicting, Ephesians 6:5.; Colossians 3:22.; 1 Peter 2:18. | Servants to be obedient. Servants owe respect and submission to their masters in every thing not contrary to the law, or the will of God. Hence they are strictly forbidden to murmur at their commands, to show any repugnance to obey them, or to censure their conduct. To avoid these evils, they ought to consider their masters as Jesus Christ himself, and their commands as those of God himself: which St. Paul often inculcates in other places in his epistles. (Ephesians 6:5, 6.; Colossians 3:23.) (St. Jerome) |
