蓋我隸人權、有士卒隸我權、命此往則往、彼來則來、命僕行是則行是、

蓋我權屬人、兵權屬我、命去即去、命來即來、令僕行是、即行是、

蓋我屬人轄、亦有兵屬我轄、命此去則去、命彼來則來、命僕行是則行是、

蓋予亦屬人權下、士卒又處予權下、諭此曰去即去、呼彼曰來即來、凡有所命、僕必從焉。』

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one,‘ Go,’ and he goes; and that one,‘ Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant,‘ Do this,’ and he does it.

For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one,‘ Go,’ and he goes; and to another,‘ Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant,‘ Do this,’ and he does it.”

I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say,‘ Go,’ and they go, or‘ Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves,‘ Do this,’ they do it.”

For I too am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under my command. I say to this one,‘ Go,’ and he goes; and to another,‘ Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant,‘ Do this,’ and he does it.”

For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under myself; and I say to this one,‘ Go!’ and he goes, and to another,‘ Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave,‘ Do this!’ and he does it.”

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything. Don’t do it just to please them when they are watching you. Obey them with an honest heart. Do it out of respect for the Lord.

The angel who spoke to him left. Then Cornelius called two of his servants. He also called a godly soldier who was one of his attendants.He told them everything that had happened. Then he sent them to Joppa.

Then Paul called one of the commanders. He said to him,“ Take this young man to the commanding officer. He has something to tell him.”

A commander was standing there as they stretched Paul out to be whipped. Paul said to him,“ Does the law allow you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?”When the commander heard this, he went to the commanding officer and reported it.“ What are you going to do?” the commander asked.“ This man is a Roman citizen.”

All who are forced to serve as slaves should consider their masters worthy of full respect. Then people will not speak evil things against God’s name and against what we teach.Some slaves have masters who are believers. They shouldn’t show their masters disrespect just because they are also believers. Instead, they should serve them even better. That’s because their masters are loved by them as believers. These masters are committed to caring for their slaves. These are the things you are to teach. Try hard to get the believers to do them.

He ordered the commander to keep Paul under guard. He told him to give Paul some freedom. He also told him to allow Paul’s friends to take care of his needs.
