\u2018Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from ploughing or tending sheep in the field, \u201cCome here at once and take your place at the table\u201d? Would you not rather say to him, \u201cPrepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink\u201d? Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, \u201cWe are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!\u201d \u2019<\/p>\n
