JMNT(i)
22 Slaves, in regard to all things continue submissively hearing, paying attention and being constantly obedient to those [
being]
owners (masters; lords)
on the level and the sphere of flesh (= human, or "earthly," masters) –
not within eye-slavery (bondage to eyes; = slavery to doing in order to be seen, or working only when someone is watching),
as desiring to please people (or: wanting to be pleasing to people so as to win their favor; human-pleasers),
but rather within simplicity (or: singleness)
of heart (or: single-hearted sincerity),
constantly being folks reverenced by the fear of (or, as a middle: being ones habitually engendering reverence because of respectful fear toward)
the Lord [= Yahweh or Christ;
p46 & other MSS: God].
23 Everything – whatever you folks may be habitually doing – be constantly working (doing business; practicing a trade; earning a living)
from out of soul (from the whole being: intellect, emotions, will),
as to (for; in)
the Lord [= Yahweh or Christ]
and not for people (to mankind),
24 having seen, and thus, knowing that you folks will receive back from the Lord [Yahweh or Christ]
and take away the corresponding compensation of,
from and which consists in the enjoyment of the allotted inheritance. Be constantly slaving for Christ, the Owner (Lord; Master) [or, with other MSS, and as an indicative: For you are constantly performing as a slave in (or: by; with) the Lord, in {the} Anointed One].
