[17:7] “Suppose one of you has a servant who is plowing or looking after the sheep. When he comes in from the field, do you tell him to hurry along and eat his meal?
[17:8] Of course not! Instead, you say to him, ‘Get my supper ready, then put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may have your meal.’
[17:9] The servant does not deserve thanks for obeying orders, does he?
[17:10] It is the same with you; when you have done all you have been told to do, say, ‘We are ordinary servants; we have only done our duty.’”
