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 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.

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.

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.

Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time.

Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that when they slander you as evildoers, they will observe your good works and will glorify God on the day he visits.

Furthermore, he must have a good reputation among outsiders, so that he does not fall into disgrace and the devil’s trap.

Let us walk with decency, as in the daytime: not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.

He answered them,“ The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables

Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, so that any opponent will be ashamed, because he doesn’t have anything bad to say about us.Slaves are to submit to their masters in everything, and to be well-pleasing, not talking backor stealing, but demonstrating utter faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

In the same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even if some disobey the word, they may be won over without a word by the way their wives live

Yet do this with gentleness and reverence, keeping a clear conscience, so that when you are accused, those who disparage your good conduct in Christ will be put to shame.For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

Stay away from every kind of evil.

Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable— if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy— dwell on these things.

Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?I robbed other churches by taking pay from them to minister to you.When I was present with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, since the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from burdening you in any way.

We are taking this precaution so that no one will criticize us about this large sum that we are administering.Indeed, we are giving careful thought to do what is right, not only before the Lord but also before people.

For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside?God judges outsiders. Remove the evil person from among you.
