Ephesians 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 6:8

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doth
According to the will of God, from right principles in his heart, and with a view to God's glory:

the same shall he receive of the Lord;
that is, he shall receive the fruit and advantage of it, in a way of grace,

whether [he be] bond or free;
a bondman or a free man, a master or a servant.

Ephesians 6:8 In-Context

6 Don't work to make yourself look good and try to flatter people, but act like slaves of Christ carrying out God's will from the heart.
7 Serve your owners enthusiastically, as though you were serving the Lord and not human beings.
8 You know that the Lord will reward every person who does what is right, whether that person is a slave or a free person.
9 As for masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Stop threatening them, because you know that both you and your slaves have a master in heaven. He doesn't distinguish between people on the basis of status.
10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and his powerful strength.
