All slaves who do believe,
Must give complete respect,
If they wish to receive,
Never try to reject.
Honor their own masters,
No matter what they may do;
Avoiding disasters,
That maybe coming through.
No one shall speak evil,
Using His holy name;
It would be uncivil,
Trying not to proclaim.
Some serve two masters yet,
Though they are believers;
Since they are deep in debt,
The load makes them grievers.
But one is the greater,
Wanting more attention;
One master a hater,
Feeling apprehension.
Those who get benefits,
Are those to whom they love;
Teach them if the shoe fits,
For it came from above.
Living a godly life,
And be clothed in the truth;
Means coping with the strife,
And those that are uncouth.
