Tuesday's Living Water

Scripture –

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
Ephesians 6: 5-8



*Esclavos, obedezcan a sus amos terrenales con respeto y temor, y con integridad de corazón, como a Cristo. No lo hagan sólo cuando los estén mirando, como los que quieren ganarse el favor *humano, sino como esclavos de Cristo, haciendo de todo corazón la voluntad de Dios. Sirvan de buena gana, como quien sirve al Señor y no a los hombres, sabiendo que el Señor recompensará a cada uno por el bien que haya hecho, sea esclavo o sea libre.
Efesios 6: 5-8
