G1203–δεσπότης–despotēs

Now you are letting your servant go in peace, O Lord, as you have said;

δέσποτα, despota “Lord,”

And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them:

δέσποτα, despota “Sovereign Lord,”

Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

δεσπότας despotas “masters”

And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.

δεσπότας despotas “masters”

If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work.

δεσπότῃ, despotē “Master,”

Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;

δεσπόταις despotais “masters”

Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.

δεσπόταις, despotais “to masters,”

But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly,

δεσπότην despotēn “Master”

For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

δεσπότην despotēn “master”

And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?

δεσπότης despotēs “Lord”
