Ephesians 6:8

Ephesians 6:8

6 ^anot with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

8 ^aknowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that¹ your own ^aMaster also is in heaven, and ^bthere is no partiality with Him.

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 ^aPut on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the¹ wiles of the devil.

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).
