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;

whether [he be] bond or free;

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.
