Commentary
Reason for subjection even to froward masters. thankworthy-- (Luk 6:33). A course out of the common, and especially praiseworthy in the eyes of God: not as Rome interprets, earning merit, and so a work of supererogation (compare Pe1 2:20). for conscience toward God--literally, "consciousness of God": from a conscientious regard to God, more than to men. endure--Greek, "patiently bear up under": as a superimposed burden [ALFORD]. grief--Greek, "griefs."
