Colossians 3:24

⁸knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

¹⁰For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

³²Now, brothers,^[+] I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

¹⁴and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

²²For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.

³⁵Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

⁶not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

⁶Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

¹²Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

⁴⁶For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
