1 Timothy 6:1

Let them who are under the yoke of servitude, hold their masters in all honor; lest the name of God and his doctrine be reproached.

James Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Peshitta

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

2And let them who have believing masters, not treat them with disrespect, because they are their brethren; but let them be more obedient, because they are believers and beloved, in whose service they enjoy quietness. These things teach thou, and request of them.
