'And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him... Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.' (Colossians 3.18-25)
Paul is addressing workers in secular jobs, slaves, servants, employees, telling them to obey their employers, not as men pleasers, with eyeservice, but with singleness of heart, fearing God; whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord, and not as unto men! You see, even in the secular world we have to serve a secular master – as if he were the Lord! But, v24, the Lord will reward us! So we must be faithful in whatever job we do.
