Colossians 3:23-25 NWT
23 Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled as to Jehovah, (Deuteronomy 6:5 ; Deuteronomy 10:12 ; Psalm 9:1 ; John 17:3) and not to men, 24 for you know that it is from Jehovah you will receive the due reward of the inheritance. Slave for the Master, Christ. 25 Certainly the one that is doing wrong will receive back what he wrongly did, and there is no partiality.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
