⁷ Doing your work readily, as to the Lord, and not to men:

³⁸ These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.

³⁹ Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

⁴⁰ This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.

⁵ Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;

⁶ Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;

²³ Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

⁶ And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,

² Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.

³ And she said to her master's wife, If only my lord would go to the prophet in Samaria, he would make him well.

¹³ Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?

³¹ So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
