Render your service wholeheartedly, as you would to the Lord, and not [just] to people,
In whatever you do, work wholeheartedly, as though it were for the Lord and not [just] for people,
So, whether you people eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to honor God.
Thank God that you people, who were once slaves to [the practice of] sin, became obedient from [your] heart to the pattern of teaching [i.e., the Gospel message] you committed yourself to.
