Ephesians 6:5-8
51Slaves, be obedient to those who are your 2masters according to the flesh, with 3fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, 4as to Christ; 65not 6by way of 7eye-service, as 8people-pleasers, but as 9slaves of Christ, 10doing the will of God from the 11heart. 7With goodwill 12render service, 13as to the Lord, and not to people, 814knowing that 15whatever good thing each one does, he will receive this back from the Lord, 16whether slave or free.
