Colossians 3:23
Compare all
21 aFathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.  
22 aBondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.  
23 aAnd whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,  
24 aknowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; bfor you serve the Lord Christ.  
25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and athere is no partiality.

Colossians 3:23

And—omitted in the oldest manuscripts (compare Ephesians 6:7-8). Compare the same principle in the case of all men, Hezekiah (II Chronicles 31:21; Romans 12:11).

do, do it—two distinct Greek verbs, "Whatsoever ye do, work at it" (or "labor at" it).

heartily—not from servile constraint, but with hearty good will.
