Slaves, your job is to obey your masters, not with the idea of currying favour, but as a sincere expression of your devotion to God.

Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ.
