Work As For The Lord, Not For People

22 Slaves, be obeying your masters according-to[a] the flesh in all things, not with eye-service[b] as people-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, be working from the soul as for the Lord and not for people, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the payback[c] of [d] the inheritance. You are serving[e] the Lord Christ!
