Colossians 3:22-4:1
International Standard Version
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only while being watched in order to please them, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it[a] for the Lord and not merely for people. 24 You know that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Messiah[b] whom you are serving! 25 For the person who does what is wrong will be paid back for what he has done without favoritism.
4 Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
