Colossians 3

²²Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
²³Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
²⁴since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
