Ephesians 6:8

any man doeth—Greek, "any man shall have done," that is, shall be found at the Lord's coming to have done.

the same—in full payment, in heaven's currency.

shall . . . receive— (II Corinthians 5:10; Colossians 3:25; but all of grace, Luke 17:10).

bond or free— (I Corinthians 7:22; I Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11). Christ does not regard such distinctions in His present dealings of grace, or in His future judgment. The slave that has acted faithfully for the Lord's sake to his master, though the latter may not repay his faithfulness, shall have the Lord for his Paymaster. So the freeman who has done good for the Lord's sake, though man may not pay him, has the Lord for his Debtor (Proverbs 19:17).
