<p>6:7 <i>Giving service with a good will, as if to the Lord and not to man</i>- &quot;Giving service&quot; is literally 'being in bondage'. We are His slaves, and the force of that metaphor should not be lost upon us. The depth of that servitude should mean that our 'slavery' in secular things is not significant, compared to our deep sense of bondage to the Lord. He is our exclusive Lord, and so any human servitude is to be performed as unto Him.</p>
