Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ephesians 6:5

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

5. Servants —literally, "slaves." masters according to the flesh —in contrast to your true and heavenly Master ( :- ). A consolatory him that the mastership to which they were subject, was but for a time [CHRYSOSTOM]; and that their real liberty was still their own ( :- ). fear and trembling —not slavish terror, but (See on :- ; 2 Corinthians 7:15 ) an anxious eagerness to do your duty, and a fear of displeasing, as great as is produced in the ordinary slave by "threatenings" ( 2 Corinthians 7:15- : ). singleness —without double-mindedness, or "eye service" ( 2 Corinthians 7:15- : ), which seeks to please outwardly, without the sincere desire to make the master's interest at all times the first consideration ( 1 Chronicles 29:17 ; Matthew 6:22 ; Matthew 6:23 ; Luke 11:34 ). "Simplicity." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
