Colossians 3:22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in every respect, not only when they are watching – like those who are strictly people-pleasers – but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord. 3:23 Whatever you are doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people, 3:24 because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ. 3:25 For the one who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there are no exceptions. 4:1 Masters, treat your slaves with justice and fairness, because you know that you also have a master in heaven.

These verses can be summed up easily and quickly:

Treat others the way you would want to be treated. It is the Golden Rule.

Employees, obey your employers in EVERY respect, not just when they are looking. Don't just go through the motions. Be enthusiastic! You are really working for the Lord. Your extra work and good attitude will be rewarded, either on earth or in heaven. If you slack off, the Lord knows about that, too.

Employers treat your workers with justice and fairness. You are accountable to God for your treatment of those under your authority, whether good or bad. Treat them wrongly and you will pay!

Those UNDER authority must OBEY those IN authority. Those IN authority must SERVE those under authority. This is a Biblical principal that applies in the home and in the workplace.

It's God's way!
