6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
6 Not G3361 with G2596 eyeservice, G3787 as G5613 menpleasers; G441 but G235 as G5613 the servants G1401 of Christ, G5547 doing G4160 the will G2307 of God G2316 from G1537 the heart; G5590
6 not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul,
6 not with eye-service as men-pleasers; but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from [the] soul,
6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
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;
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Eph 6:10-18
Here is a general exhortation to constancy in our Christian course, and to encourage in our Christian warfare. Is not our life a warfare? It is so; for we struggle with the common calamities of human life. Is not our religion much more a warfare?

If Christians be soldiers of Jesus Christ,
Eph 6:19-24
