Colossians 3:23 in Context — Colossians 3
21 Pères, n’irritez pas vos enfants, de peur qu’ils ne se découragent.
22 Serviteurs, obéissez en toutes choses à vos maîtres selon la chair, non pas seulement sous leurs yeux, comme pour plaire aux hommes, mais avec simplicité de cœur, dans la crainte du Seigneur.
23 Tout ce que vous faites, faites-le de bon cœur, comme pour le Seigneur et non pour des hommes,
24 sachant que vous recevrez du Seigneur l’héritage pour récompense. Servez Christ, le Seigneur.
25 Car celui qui agit injustement recevra selon son injustice, et il n’y a point d’acception de personnes.
