while we were discussing on this perticular chapter from 1Peter and in the 2nd chapter verses starting from 13 onwards says that we have to obay to our masters from all sorts of his/her command. but we were inturupted from a fellow believer who asked the following questian, in some gulf countries people were employed under some sponsors and on their arrival to the perticular countries the sponsor would take controle of thier passports and employ them to work in their concern though the work will be more and opprassive you can work as per the " verse" says, how about some sponsors who dont pay your salary for months and months will you still obedient in working for them?

Answer 1

I think I understand what you are asking.

Yes, you have every right to quit if your employer doesn't pay you. He would stop getting respect from me as soon as he tried to take my passport.

Answer 2

In this instance, they are referring to obedience to government rulers. Obey their laws, until the conflict with God's laws/ teachings. That's why it emphasizes - FEAR GOD.
True, if you are dumb enough to out yourself into that position, you are supposed to submit to that Master. In a way, you are taking a beating, in God's name, if done correctly :

18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19 For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us,[f] leaving us[g] an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 “ Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;[h]

23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer[i] of your souls.


In short, pick a nice, good boss ! Instead of a cruel one.

Answer 3

1 Peter 2:13-21
13Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
18Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. 20But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

James 2:4-6
4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

5Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? 6But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?

Their reward is in heaven.
