For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.

for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.

We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable.

Indeed, we are giving careful thought to do what is right, not only before the Lord but also before people.

for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of other people.

providing honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right.

People who don’t believe might say you are doing wrong. But lead good lives among them. Then they will see your good deeds. And they will give glory to God on the day he comes to judge.

The younger women must control themselves and be pure. They must take good care of their homes. They must be kind. They must follow the lead of their husbands. Then no one will be able to speak evil things against God’s word.In the same way, help the young men to control themselves.Do what is good. Set an example for them in everything. When you teach, be honest and serious.No one can question the truth. So teach what is true. Then those who oppose you will be ashamed. That’s because they will have nothing bad to say about us.

Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things.

Unlike many people, we aren’t selling God’s word to make money. In fact, it is just the opposite. Because of Christ we speak honestly before God. We speak like people God has sent.

Say no to every kind of evil.

So here is the advice I give to younger widows. Get married. Have children. Take care of your own homes. Don’t give the enemy the chance to tell lies about you.

Those who serve Christ in this way are pleasing to God. They are pleasing to people too.

So we try our best to please him. We want to please him whether we are at home in our bodies or away from them.We must all stand in front of Christ to be judged. Each one of us will be judged for what we do while in our bodies. We’ll be judged for the good things and the bad things. Then each of us will receive what we are supposed to get.We know what it means to have respect for the Lord. So we try to help other people to understand it. What we are is plain to God. I hope it is also plain to your way of thinking.

Then your giving will be done secretly. Your Father will reward you, because he sees what you do secretly.

“ Be careful not to do good deeds in front of other people. Don’t do those deeds to be seen by others. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you.

“ Everything they do is done for others to see. On their foreheads and arms they wear little boxes that hold Scripture verses. They make the boxes very wide. And they make the tassels on their coats very long.

In the same way, let your light shine so others can see it. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will bring glory to your Father who is in heaven.
