The F.O.G

[9] Employers, treat your workers with the same respect—no threats or intimidation. Remember that both you and they answer to the same Master in heaven, who shows no favoritism—like a judge who is perfectly impartial.

And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him.
