Matthew Poole and continuators on Colossians 3:24

24 Knowing , that of the Lord ye shall re[illegible: 1 letter]ceive the reward of the inheritance n: for ye serve the Lord Christ o.

Being fully perswaded of this undoubted truth,

That of the Lord, who superintends all your services (not for any merit of yours) Eph. 6.8. the recompence which your Master in Heaven hath purchased, Eph. 1.14, 18. shall be freely setled upon you whom he hath adopted into his Family, v. 5. Rom. 8.17. Gal. 4.7. for in these duties you Christianly perform to Masters of the same mold with your selves, he really looks upon you as his own Servants see Eph. 6.6. yea and Freemen, 1 Cor. 7.22. so that as Onesimus, Philem v. 10. ye may more chearfully submit to your Master's yoke, according to the command and for the sake of Christ, who reckons▪ what you do upon that account as done to himself, Mat. 25.40. and will enstate you in that eternal inheritance, to which neither you nor any mortal Man had naturally any Right at all.
