Ephesians 6 — Context

5

Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;

6

Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;

7

Doing your work readily, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8

In the knowledge that for every good thing anyone does, he will have his reward from the Lord, If he is a servant or if he is free.

9

And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

10

Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power.

11

Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.
