Scripture for Work


Colosians 3 [KJV]
23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
   24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
   25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

 Colosians 3 [Amplified] 
    22Servants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose [with all your heart] because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him.
    23Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,
    24Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah).
    25For he who deals wrongfully will [reap the fruit of his folly and] be punished for his wrongdoing. And [with God] there is no partiality [no matter what a person's position may be, whether he is the slave or the master].
