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.

so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

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.

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

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and[ that] ye may have lack of nothing.

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

Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.

and maintain good conduct among the non- Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.

And he must be well thought of by those outside the faith, so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil’s trap.

Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people.

and a sound message that cannot be criticized, so that any opponent will be at a loss, because he has nothing evil to say about us.Slaves are to be subject to their own masters in everything, to do what is wanted and not talk back,not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live,

Yet do it with courtesy and respect, keeping a good conscience, so that those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when they accuse you.For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil.

Stay away from every form of evil.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you could be exalted, because I proclaimed the gospel of God to you free of charge?I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so that I could serve you!When I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

We did this as a precaution so that no one should blame us in regard to this generous gift we are administering.For we are concerned about what is right not only before the Lord but also before men.

For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Are you not to judge those inside?But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.
