Colossians 3:24

²² Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

²³ Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,

because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

²⁵ Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
