Ephesians 6:5-9

A  5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

B  6 not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, 

C  but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, 

B’  and not to men, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

A’  9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
