Colosenses 3:23

23 Hagan lo que hagan, trabajen de buena gana, como para el Señor y no como para nadie en este mundo,

Colosenses 3:23 Meaning and Commentary

Colossians 3:23

And whatsoever ye do
Some have thought that these words, and the two following verses, regard the Colossians in general, and the performance of any, and all good works by them; but by their connection with the preceding verse, and with the beginning of the next chapter, they appear to concern servants only, and what they do under that character, and under the discharge of their duty:

do it heartily,
not by mere force and necessity, grudgingly, and with murmurings, but from the heart, and with good will, having a true, real, and hearty affection for their masters, having their good and interest at heart, and a delight in their service; like the Hebrew servant, that loved his master, as also his wife and children, and therefore would not depart from him, see ( Exodus 21:5 ) ,

as to the Lord, and not unto men; (See Gill on Ephesians 6:7).

Colosenses 3:23 In-Context

21 Padres, no exasperen a sus hijos, no sea que se desanimen.

22 Esclavos, obedezcan en todo a sus amos terrenales, no solo cuando ellos los estén mirando, como si ustedes quisieran ganarse el favor humano, sino con integridad de corazón y por respeto al Señor.

23 Hagan lo que hagan, trabajen de buena gana, como para el Señor y no como para nadie en este mundo,

24 conscientes de que el Señor los recompensará con la herencia. Ustedes sirven a Cristo el Señor.

25 El que hace el mal pagará por su propia maldad, y en esto no hay favoritismos.
