Collected Works, Volume 1

Servants, obey your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ, not only with apparent helpfulness, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, serving with diligence, as to the Lord, and not as to men (Eph. 6:5-7, Col. 3:22-23).

St. Chrysostom on this

A servant who obeys the commandments of his master (which are not contrary to the law of God) fulfills the commandments of God (Discourse 4 on 1 Epistle to Timothy).

MASTERS TO SLAVES

And you, masters, do the same to them (slaves), moderating your severity, knowing that there is a Lord in heaven over you and over them, Who has no respect of persons (Ephesians 6:9).

Lord, render to your servants what is due and just, knowing that you also have the Lord in heaven (Col. 4:1).

St. Chrysostom on this

Our Lord calls our servants His brethren, all the more befitting of us (Discourse 2 on the Epistle to the Philippians).

XIX. The Fear of God

Fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matt. 10:28).

I will tell you whom to fear: fear him who, after being killed, is able to cast you into hell: it, I say to you, fear him (Luke 12:5).

And if you call Him Father, Who impartially judges each one according to his works, then spend the time of your pilgrimage with fear, knowing that you have not been redeemed from the vain life handed down to you from your fathers with perishable silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as a blameless and pure Lamb (1 Pet. 1:17-19).
