A Master in Heaven

Colossians 4:1; NKJV

"Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven."

"master in heaven" - kurios - he to whom a person or thing belongs, about which he has the power of deciding; master, lord.   Used universally, of the possessor and disposer of a thing, the owner.  Kurios is a title of honor, expressive of respect and reverence, with which servants salute their master (Thayer’s)
