Ephesians 6:6-8
New English Translation
6 not like those who do their work only when someone is watching[a]—as people-pleasers—but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart.[b] 7 Obey[c] with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord[d] and not people, 8 because you know that each person, whether slave or free, if he does something good, this[e] will be rewarded by the Lord.
