Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.

For you may very well be giving thanks, but the other person is not being built up.

I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.
