SCRIPTURE

"[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying;" — Titus 2:9 (ASV)

Servants (δουλους). "Slaves." Supply "exhort" (παρακαλε). See 1 Timothy 6:1 for "masters" (δεσποταις).

Well-pleasing (ευαρεστους). See on 2 Corinthians 5:9.

Not gainsaying (μη αντιλεγοντας). "Not answer back." See Ro 10:21.
