Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

(.) Seeking to please masters only so long as their eyes are on them: as Gehazi was very different in his master's presence from what he was in his absence, (2 Kings 5:1.) Men-pleasers - not Christ-pleasers (cf. ; ).

As the servants of Christ - Christ's 'bond-servants' will not make 'men-pleasing' their aim.

Doing the will of God - the unseen but ever-present Master: the best guarantee for serving faithfully your earthly master alike when present and absent.

From the heart - literally, soul (; ).
