1 Thessalonians 4:11

New International Version

¹¹and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands,^(A) just as we told you,

1 Thessalonians 4:11

King James Version

¹¹And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

¹²Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ^(A) to settle down and earn the food they eat.^(B)

¹²Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

¹⁴So I counsel younger widows to marry,^(A) to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.^(B)

¹⁴I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
