And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Und ihr Herren, tut auch dasselbe gegen sie und lasset das Drohen; wisset, daß auch euer HERR im Himmel ist und ist bei ihm kein Ansehen der Person.
Y vosotros, amos, haced a ellos lo mismo, dejando las amenazas: sabiendo que el Señor de ellos y vuestro está en los cielos, y que no hay acepción de personas con Él.
Y ustedes, amos, hagan lo mismo con ellos y dejen las amenazas, sabiendo que el Señor de ellos y de ustedes está en los cielos, y para él no hay distinción de personas.
Et vous, maîtres, agissez de même à leur égard, et abstenez-vous de menaces, sachant que leur maître et le vôtre est dans les cieux, et que devant lui il n'y a point d'acception de personnes.
E voi, signori, fate par pari inverso loro, rallentando le minacce; sapendo che il Signore, e vostro, e loro, è ne’ cieli; e che dinanzi a lui non v’è riguardo alla qualità delle persone
E vós, senhores, fazei o mesmo para com eles, deixando as ameaças, sabendo também que o SENHOR deles e vosso está no céu, e que para com ele não há acepção de pessoas.
作主人的,你們待僕人也是一樣,不要威嚇他們,因為知道他們和你們在天上同有一位主,他並不偏待人。
