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 not to be seen as only pleasing men, but as the slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from within,
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good thing anyone does, the same shall they receive of the Lord, whether they are slaves or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same unto them, forbearing threats, knowing that their Master and yours is also in the heavens and that he is no respecter of persons.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
