A master should be loyal in paying his servants (terms of condition) as the servants remain loyal in doing their work.
Understand why you should be loyal: you are not being loyal as a service to your master. Your stand to be loyal is a service to God (2 Cor 10:2, Gen 31: 12)
A follower should know his level.
If you can not stand for something, you will fall for anything.
If anybody persecutes you for righteousness sake, God will remedy it for you.
