About This Quote
The phrase "do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men" is one of Paul's most famous instructions in the New Testament. It's also one of the most important instructions in all of Christianity. It's not enough to do something because you feel like doing it. You must do what you're doing because it pleases God, not because it pleases men.
