so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won’t have to depend on anyone.

Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.

so that you may behave properly in the presence of outsiders and not be dependent on anyone.

so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.

In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.

Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.

Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.

And he said to them,“ To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables,

and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.Bondservants are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,

having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

Abstain from every form of evil.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God’s gospel to you free of charge?I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

We take this course so that no one should blame us about this generous gift that is being administered by us,for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?God judges those outside.“ Purge the evil person from among you.”
