1 THESSALONIANS 4:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.”
So that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one — the ethical witness before the pagan community ('outsiders,' exō) is paramount; their sanctification is visible, not hidden. Financial independence ('dependent on no one,' medenou) preserves apostolic integrity and Christian freedom. Character is the best evangelism.
