Titus 2:9-10 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)
9 Let servants be subject to their masters, and please them in all things, not answering again,10 Neither pickers, but that they show all good faithfulness, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
Heavenly Father, I am a sinner, have mercy on me oh Son of David. I do, what I should not do, and do not do what I should. I confess my shortcomings to You this morning oh my Lord – amen
Brethren:
Advice to servants, to be honest and faithful towards their masters. For Christ is faithful towards us in all things. We likewise are servants to our Creator and it pleases Him when we do well and honestly towards our earthly masters. We have died in Christ and are reborn in Him, and now live for Him. Let us therefore do our best for Him. - R.P. Woitowitz Sr.
“Servants must know and do their duty to their earthly masters, with a reference to their heavenly one. In serving an earthly master according to Christ's will, He is served; such shall be rewarded by him. Not giving disrespectful or provoking language; but to take a check or reproof with silence, not making confident or bold replies. When conscious of a fault, to excuse or justify it, doubles it. Never putting to their own use that which is their master's, nor wasting the goods they are trusted with. Showing all good fidelity to improve a master's goods, and promote his thriving. If ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? (Read Luke 16:12). True religion is an honour to the professors of it; and they should adorn it in all things.” Matthew Henry
