OET (OET-LV) with good_will serving as to_the master, and not to_people,

OET (OET-RV) by serving with good will. When you serve as if serving the master and not people,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:5–9: Paul gave advice to slaves and their masters

The third relationship that Paul talked about is that of slaves and masters. The slave must remember that when he serves his master, he is serving Christ, and he will receive his reward from Christ. The master must remember that the slave’s master in heaven is his own master too.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Paul’s advice to slaves and masters (GW)

Slaves/Servants should obey their masters

6:7a

Serve with good will,

Serve with good will: The Greek word that the BSB translates as with good will means “enthusiastically” or “cheerfully.” Here, it means slaves should do their work willingly and happily, not just because they have to do it.

Here are some ways to translate this word:

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Work with enthusiasm (NLT)

Do your work as slaves cheerfully (GNT)

Serve eagerly (GW)

6:7b

as to the Lord and not to men,

as to the Lord and not to men: The Greek clause that the BSB literally translates as as to the Lord and not to men means that a Christian slave serves the Lord, even when he is doing daily work for his master.

Here are some ways to translate this phrase:

Consider that you are doing your work for the Lord, not just for people

When you do your work, think this: you are working for the Lord, you are not just working for your master

the Lord: Here Lord refers to Christ (6:5c, 6:6b).

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

6:5-9 The relationship between slaves and masters (and, by analogy, between employees and employers) is to be shaped by their commitment to the Lord and their desire to build one another up in Christ. Christian slaves are to obey their masters, and Christian masters are to treat their slaves kindly (see Col 3:22–4:1).
• Paul was not promoting slavery but teaching Christians how to live in it as a fact of life in that culture (for Paul’s treatment of slavery, see Philemon Book Introduction, “Meaning and Message”).
