5 (A)Slaves, be obedient to those who are your [a]masters according to the flesh, with (B)fear and trembling, in the [b]integrity of your heart, (C)as to Christ; 6 (D)not [c]by way of eyeservice, as (E)men-pleasers, but as (F)slaves of Christ, (G)doing the will of God from the [d]heart, 7 serving with good will (H)as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 (I)knowing that (J)whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, (K)whether slave or free.

Ephesians 6:5-9
American Standard Version
5 [a]Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your [b]masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 6 not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as [c]servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the [d]heart; 7 with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men: 8 knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 9 And, ye [e]masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.
