(8) The same shall he receive of the Lord.--This verse clenches the previous exhortations by the inculcation of a sense of responsibility and hope. The phrase itself is emphatic--not "he shall receive the reward of his deed," but "he shall receive the deed itself," considered as a thing still living and returning on his head, both in the judgments of life and in what we rightly call the "Last Judgment" of the Great Day. A slave in the eye of the law had no rights, and therefore no responsibility or hope. St. Paul therefore bids him, as a Christian, lift his thoughts to a region in which all, bond and free alike, may hear the blessing, "Well done, good and faithful servant."Verse 8. - Knowing that whatsover good thing each man shall have done, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

For the slave the hope of reward is future - it is at the Lord's coming that he will have his reward. Parallel Commentaries ...
