Ephesians 6:5-7

Expanded Bible

Slaves and Masters

⁵ ·Slaves [Bondservants], obey your ·masters here on earth [human masters; ^Lmasters according to the flesh; Col. 3:22; 1 Pet. 2:18–25] with ·respect [fear] and ·fear [trembling] and from a sincere heart, ·just as you [or as you would] obey Christ. ⁶ You must do this not only ·while they are watching you [^Lwith eye-service], ·to please them [^Las people-pleasers]. But as ·slaves [bondservants] of Christ, do ·what God wants [God’s will] ·with all your [or from the] heart. ⁷ Do your work ·with enthusiasm [willingly; cheerfully]. Work as if you were serving the Lord, not people.
