1 Peter 2:18-20

You who are servants, be good servants to your masters—not just to good masters, but also to bad ones. What counts is that you put up with it for God's sake when you're treated badly for no good reason. There's no particular virtue in accepting punishment that you well deserve. But if you're treated badly for good behavior and continue in spite of it to be a good servant, that is what counts with God. 1 Peter 2:18-20 MES

Be a good servant to a bad master. What kind of crazy talk it this? If your boss is a jerk, you do whatever you can to make him/her look bad. It's OK to waste time at work because you have to put up with the boss and that deserves some extra reward. Maybe that is not what God is saying. Maybe God asking us to go and find a bad boss and work for him? Or if we are working for a bad boss, do we just stay there and take the abuse?

I don't think any of these statements are right. If you are in a situation where you have a bad master, you need to do the right thing even if they don't. You need to do the right thing until you can move on to another situation. You need to give a full days work and if you are going to leave you need to give notice.

I know that God's way is not the world's way. God says he will make non-sense out of what we think is right. This passage brings this out. In plain words, God will not accept another's wrong actions as an excuse.
