Study Note
The instruction that servants should not misappropriate but show 'all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things' applies the concept of cosmetics ('adorn,' kosmeō — whence 'cosmetics') to the doctrinal witness of daily behavior. The metaphor insists that doctrine is not merely an intellectual proposition to be assented to but a 'teaching' (didaskalia) that is visually presented or disfigured by the conduct of those who hold it. The specific context of servants or slaves adds sociological weight: the most powerless members of the household, whose conduct most fully reflects the moral quality of the master's household, are also the primary adorners of the gospel in the wider Roman world. The verse has been significant in Christian workplace ethics and in discussions of the relationship between institutional power and the public credibility of Christian witness.
