that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

Context

9But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

10for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

11and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

12that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

13But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

15For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.
