Colossians 3:22-4:1
New International Version
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance(A) from the Lord as a reward.(B) It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.(C)
4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair,(D) because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

23 Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically,[a] as something done for the Lord and not for men,(C) 24 knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer(D) will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.
4 Masters,(E) supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
