1 Thessalonians 4:12

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

1 Thessalonians 4:12 In-Context

10 In fact, you do love all the brothers and sisters all around Macedonia. But we are asking you to love each other more and more.
11 Do everything you can to live a quiet life. Mind your own business. Work with your hands, just as we told you to.
12 Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won't have to depend on anyone.
13 Brothers and sisters, we want you to know what happens to those who die. We don't want you to be sad, as other people are. They don't have any hope.
14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again. When he returns, many who believe in him will have died already. We believe that God will bring them back with Jesus.
