Colossians 3:22

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

²³ And what soever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

²⁴ Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
