This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eph 6:6. Ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι, as men-pleasers) The antithesis immediately follows, as the servants of Christ, doing, etc. Whom does he call the servants of Christ? Ans. Those who do the will of God. Such persons are anxious to please God (ἀρέσκουσι). We have the same antithesis, Col 3:22, where it is thus expressed, fearing God: for doing the will of God, in Eph., and fearing God, in Col., are parallel.-ἐκ ψυχῆς, from the heart [soul]) So ἐκ ψυχῆς, Col 3:23. So 1Ma 8:25; 1Ma 8:27, καρδίᾳ πλήρει and ἐκ ψυχῆς are parallel.
