and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you,

And do everything you can to live a quiet life. You should mind your own business. And work with your hands, just as we told you to.

and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,

Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we instructed you,

that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

to seek to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you.

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.

Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.

for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.

but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well- pleasing unto him.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife.

and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

And withal they learn also to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil- doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:

And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch.

that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,to be sober- minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:the younger men likewise exhort to be sober- minded:in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity,sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well- pleasing to them in all things; not gainsaying;not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.For we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busybodies.Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye- service, as men- pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.

yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation;

according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;if any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
