Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah). For he who deals wrongfully will [reap the fruit of his folly and] be punished for his wrongdoing. And [with God] there is no partiality [no matter what a person's position may be, whether he is the slave or the master].
There are many opportunities in my everyday life where I am able to fulfill my OBEDIENT service to Christ.
For I must handle the Gospel of Christ with the greatest of care, knowing that my Lord and Savior has prepared an inheritance for me and all believers who work faithfully at the task which HE has assigned to each of us.
