Colossians 3:21-25 Good News Bible (GNB)

21. Parents, do not irritate your children, or they will become discouraged.

22. Slaves, obey your human masters in all things, not only when they are watching you because you want to gain their approval; but do it with a sincere heart because of your reverence for the Lord.

23. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for human beings.

24. Remember that the Lord will give you as a reward what he has kept for his people. For Christ is the real Master you serve.

25. And wrongdoers will be repaid for the wrong things they do, because God judges everyone by the same standard.
