Efesini 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 6:7

With good will doing service
To their masters; not grudgingly, with an ill will; no otherwise, nor longer than when they are forced to it; but of a ready mind, and with a cheerful spirit, taking delight in their work, and reckoning it a pleasure to serve their masters; as an Israelite that is not sold, who does his work (wnwurb) , "with his good will", and according to his own mind {b}; doing what they do

as to the Lord, and not to men;
not merely because it is the will of men, and they are commanded by them, and in order to please them, but because it is the will of the Lord, and is wellpleasing in his sight.

Efesini 6:7 In-Context

5 Servi, ubbidite ai vostri signori secondo la carne, con timore e tremore, nella semplicitĂ  del cuor vostro, come a Cristo,
6 non servendo all’occhio come per piacere agli uomini, ma, come servi di Cristo, facendo il voler di Dio d’animo;
7 servendo con benevolenza, come se serviste il Signore e non gli uomini;
8 sapendo che ognuno, quand’abbia fatto qualche bene, ne riceverà la retribuzione dal Signore, servo o libero che sia.
9 E voi, signori, fate altrettanto rispetto a loro; astenendovi dalle minacce, sapendo che il Signor vostro e loro è nel cielo, e che dinanzi a lui non v’è riguardo a qualità di persone.
