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;

Ephesians 6:8 In-Context

6 Don't obey just to win their favor, serving only when they are watching you; but serve as slaves of the Messiah, doing what God wants with all your heart.

7 Work willingly as slaves, as people do who are serving not merely human beings but the Lord.

8 Remember that whoever does good work, whether he be a slave or a free man, will be rewarded by the Lord.

9 And masters, treat your slaves the same way. Don't threaten them. Remember that in heaven both you and they have the same Master, and he has no favorites.

10 Finally, grow powerful in union with the Lord, in union with his mighty strength!
