Ephesians 6:7

Read in context

Ephesians 6:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

6 And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

7 Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,

8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

9 And masters, do the same for your slaves. Give up your use of threats, because you know that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.
