We notice that this is noble
ambition. In verse II we are ex-
horted to study to be quiet"
The word study" means ito
make it your ambition or aim,
"strive earnestly" "Quiet' means
ito lead quiet life" said of
those who are not running from
one place to another, but who
stay at home and mind their own
business. Quiet" may also mean
to include the idea of being peace
able, calm, even-tempered. The
disturbances rebuked in Second
Thessalonians 3:11 may have be-
gun to show themselves, so there
is a possible allusion to the idle
busybodies of II Thessalonians.
Not only are we to strive to
lead quiet life, but we, also,
are 'to do your own business"
We might put it this way: mind
your own business" Cultivate the
habit of attending to your own
affairs. Paul was led to condemn
a restless meddlesome of which
some of the church-members
were guilty. 'fIt is amazing how
much wisdom people have about
other peoples affairs and so little
interest in their own" Along
with attending to our own af-
fairs, we are 'to work with your
own hands" Christians are not
spongers. They will work to meet
their own necessities and that of
others who are in real need
(Ephesians 4;28). Manual labor is
not a disgrace. God dignified it.
Paul was led to encourage it by
precept and example q Thessa-
lonians 20; Acts 20:33-35).
The result of minding our own
affairs and working for our nee
essities is found in the words
"that ye may walk honestly to-
ward them that are without, and
that ye may have lack of nothing
(verse 12). Honestly" here
means "becomingly," "decently."
This idea includes honest finan-
cial transactions, but a good deal
more. People outside the church
have a right to watch the con-
duct of processing Christians in
business, domestic life, social
life, politics" So our conduct be-
fore unbelievers, non-Christians,
should be in good form. We
are to conduct ourselves in a way
that is consistent with our Chris
tian profession; not bringing dis
credit on it in the eyes of the
world, as if Christianity led to
laziness and poverty.
AS one takes care Of his own
responsibilities and labors to earn
his livelihood, he will lack no.
thing. He will not be dependent
upon others for his support and
that of his family. Of course,
what Paul was led to say here
refers to men and women who
are strong and we'll, not physi-
cally disabled or in circumstances
over which they have no control.
