In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them

Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity

Bondservants are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative

And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.

Slaves must always obey their masters and do their best to please them. They must not talk back
