Colosenses 3:23

23 Y todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de corazón, como para el Señor y no para los hombres,

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 exasperéis a vuestros hijos, para que no se desalienten.

22 Siervos, obedeced en todo a vuestros amos en la tierra, no para ser vistos , como los que quieren agradar a los hombres, sino con sinceridad de corazón, temiendo al Señor.

23 Y todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de corazón, como para el Señor y no para los hombres,

24 sabiendo que del Señor recibiréis la recompensa de la herencia. Es a Cristo el Señor a quien servís.

25 Porque el que procede con injusticia sufrirá las consecuencias del mal que ha cometido, y eso, sin acepción de personas.
