Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:5-9

5-9 The duty of servants is summed up in one word, obedience. The servants of old were generally slaves.

So also it is with the servant and the master. Their relations are to be regulated as before the Lord, as verses Eph_6:7 , Eph_6:8 and 9 show. All these... read more
