Given the rise of so-called quiet quitting, why bother to work hard? Paul’s instructions in 1 Timothy 6:1-2a tell us. Without approving of slavery, Paul provides a blueprint for godliness in the workplace: honour your boss for the sake of God’s fame and his family.
Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. 2 Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved.
Teach and urge these things.
