Ephesians 6:5–9 KJV 1900
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Social Status

For our modern society the Bible concept of servants and masters can be problematic.
To understand how to apply the Bible to your life it is helpful to understand the cultural context it was written in.
Free
Slave
Spiritually you are either free or a slave.
Galatians 5:1 KJV 1900
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
1 Corinthians 7:22 KJV 1900
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
Galatians 4:7 KJV 1900
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Work For God’s Glory

1 Corinthians 4:2 KJV 1900
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV 1900
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
John 4:34 KJV 1900
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
