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 Let it not be in acts of eye-service as if you had but to please men, but as Christ's bondservants who are doing God's will from the heart.

7 With right good will, be faithful to your duty as service rendered to the Lord and not to man.

8 You well know that whatever right thing any one does, he will receive a requital for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free man.

9 And you masters, act towards your slaves on the same principles, and refrain from threats. For you know that in Heaven there is One who is your Master as well as theirs, and that merely earthly distinctions there are none with Him.

10 In conclusion, strengthen yourselves in the Lord and in the power which His supreme might imparts.
