# Ephesians 6 General Notes
|
|
|
|
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
|
|
|
#### Slavery
|
|
Paul does not write in this chapter about whether slavery is good or bad. Paul teaches about working to please God whether as a slave or as a master. What Paul teaches here about slavery would have been surprising. In his time, masters were not expected to treat their slaves with respect and not threaten them.
