17 And ver. 23;1 Cor. 10:31whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, ch. 1:12;4:2;See Eph. 5:20giving thanks to God the Father through him.
22 Bondservants, obey [See ver. 20above]in everything those who are your earthly masters,3:22 Or your masters according to the flesh not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 ver. 17Whatever you do, work heartily, [Philem. 16]as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord [Eph. 6:8] you will receive the inheritance as your reward. [1 Cor. 7:22]You are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
