Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Connections
καὶ πᾶν ὅ τι ἂν ποιῆτε ἐν λόγῳ ἢ ἐν ἔργῳ πάντα ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου Ἰησοῦ εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ δι' αὐτοῦ
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
μὴ κατ' ὀφθαλμοδουλείαν ὡς ἀνθρωπάρεσκοι ἀλλ' ὡς δοῦλοι τοῦ Χριστοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκ ψυχῆς
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν τῷ κυρίῳ ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποθνῄσκομεν ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν τοῦ κυρίου ἐσμέν
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
וּבְכָֽל-מַעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר-הֵחֵל׀ בַּֽעֲבוֹדַת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבַתּוֹרָה וּבַמִּצְוָה לִדְרֹשׁ לֵֽאלֹהָיו בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ עָשָׂה וְהִצְלִֽיחַ׃
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצָא יָֽדְךָ לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּכֹחֲךָ עֲשֵׂה כִּי אֵין מַעֲשֶׂה וְחֶשְׁבּוֹן וְדַעַת וְחָכְמָה בִּשְׁאוֹל אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה הֹלֵךְ שָֽׁמָּה׃
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
ὅτι οὕτως ἐστὶν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀγαθοποιοῦντας φιμοῦν τὴν τῶν ἀφρόνων ἀνθρώπων ἀγνωσίαν
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
Ὑποτάγητε οὖν πάσῃ ἀνθρωπίνῃ κτίσει διὰ τὸν κύριον εἴτε βασιλεῖ ὡς ὑπερέχοντι
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
בְּכָל-לִבִּי דְרַשְׁתִּיךָ אַל-תַּשְׁגֵּנִי מִמִּצְוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ φρονεῖ· καὶ ὁ μὴ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ οὐ φρονεῖ· ὁ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ ἐσθίει εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων Κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ θεῷ
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ἡγνικότες ἐν τῇ ὑπακοῇ τῆς ἀληθείας διὰ Πνεύματος εἰς φιλαδελφίαν ἀνυπόκριτον ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας ἀλλήλους ἀγαπήσατε ἐκτενῶς
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
הֲבִינֵנִי וְאֶצְּרָה תֽוֹרָתֶךָ וְאֶשְׁמְרֶנָּה בְכָל-לֵֽב׃
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
וְגַם-בְּכָל-זֹאת לֹא-שָׁבָה אֵלַי בָּגוֹדָה אֲחוֹתָהּ יְהוּדָה בְּכָל-לִבָּהּ כִּי אִם-בְּשֶׁקֶר נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
קָרָאתִי בְכָל-לֵב עֲנֵנִי יְהוָה חֻקֶּיךָ אֶצֹּֽרָה׃
I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
אֱמֹר אֶל-כָּל-עַם הָאָרֶץ וְאֶל-הַכֹּהֲנִים לֵאמֹר כִּֽי-צַמְתֶּם וְסָפוֹד בַּחֲמִישִׁי וּבַשְּׁבִיעִי וְזֶה שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה הֲצוֹם צַמְתֻּנִי אָֽנִי׃
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
Ὅταν δὲ νηστεύητε μὴ γίνεσθε ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ σκυθρωποί ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις νηστεύοντες· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת-יְהוָה וְכָל-קְרָבַי אֶת-שֵׁם קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
זַמְּרוּ אֱלֹהִים זַמֵּרוּ זַמְּרוּ לְמַלְכֵּנוּ זַמֵּֽרוּ׃
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
Αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὑποτάσσεσθε ὡς τῷ κυρίῳ
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
