Make it your ambition to
lead a quiet life, to mind your own business & to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that
your daily life may win the respect of outsiders & so that you
will not be dependent on anybody.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
If you do not obey the LORD, & if you rebel against his commands, his hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
1 Samuel 12:15
