Paul’s teaching here and in Colossians 3:22 was specifically directed at bond slaves, but the Apostle Peter says the same thing to household servants in 1Peter 2:18.

Besides, the context of this verse seems to point to a physical mark in the body (Greek soma, referring to a physical body), rather than a spiritual mark of some kind. Will Ginger,

God has put his mark on all who are saved and has put his word "in their foreheads (mind-knowing) and in their hearts (feeling, believing). And Paul knows it. He knows that "in" his body he is marked as belonging to God the father and no further proof is needed.

I was struck by this post "Who to Avoid". It reminds me of the verse that instructs us not to throw our pearls before swine. I fight a spiritual battle where legalism tells me that I don't do everything exactly right and am not perfect or good enough because I cannot successfully follow all of the rules. I also have fallen for the idea that there is some supernatural spiritual knowledge that I don't possess that I need to be closer to God. Which masks the truth; the truth that is actually pretty straightforward and accessible to all. If God wants us to know something, he will tell us. Which brings me to the pearls before swine thing where (some kinds of non-believing) people will use these spiritual struggles against you in an attempt to weaken your faith or for other motives. I've learned to keep my own counsel and to bring my heart to God who will give me the answers and guidance that I need. I believe I was led to your site by the holy spirit.
