Read the passage. That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed And post o’er land and ocean without rest: They also serve who only stand and wait.” In the sestet from Sonnet XIX by John Milton, how is the idea of service to God interpreted?.

 In the sestet from Sonnet XIX by John Milton,the idea of service to God interpreted is that God asks only for faith, devotion, or acceptance rather than asking for demand of work. It is that the God just wants faith and devotion of people to him rather than any kind of works.
