Ephesians 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 6:8

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doth
According to the will of God, from right principles in his heart, and with a view to God's glory:

the same shall he receive of the Lord;
that is, he shall receive the fruit and advantage of it, in a way of grace,

whether [he be] bond or free;
a bondman or a free man, a master or a servant.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Ephesians 6:8 In-Context

6 not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

7 With good will render service, as to the Lord , and not to men,

8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord , whether slave or free.

9 And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
