Colossians 3:25 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

But he that doeth wrong; but if the reward will not engage to a right discharge of these relative duties, the injurious person, whether he be bond or free, Ephesians 6:8, an inferior servant or a domineering master, who doth violate the rules of right, agreeing with the law natural and eternal, shall receive for the wrong which he hath done; shall have the just recompence of that injury, whereby he wrongs his correlate; the penalty apportioned to his fault, Romans 2:6 2 Corinthians 5:10 2 Peter 2:13. And there is no respect of persons; from the impartiality of Divine justice, there is no respect of persons with God, Romans 2:11, or with Christ, in the place parallel to this, Ephesians 6:9, who is so righteous a Judge that he is not swayed by the outward circumstances and qualifications of men, whether potent or poor, Leviticus 19:15 Job 34:19: he seeth not as man seeth, he looketh not on the outward appearance, but on the heart, 1 Samuel 16:7: in the distribution of justice, he will put no difference between the mightiest monarch and the most enslaved peasant; the purloining servant, and oppressing master shall certainly receive answerable to their doings from his impartial hand: the mean one who is at present abused without relief, and the great one who doth tyrannize without control, shall one day have right, and be reckoned with by the righteous Judge, 2 Timothy 4:8, who will show to all the world that he will honour those that honour him, and lightly esteem those that despise him, 1 Samuel 2:30, and that he is the avenger of all those that are wronged, 1 Thessalonians 4:6 2 Thessalonians 1:6.
