Instead, we worked with toil and hardship night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you. 9 It was not that we lack the right to receive support, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If anyone is unwilling to work, they should not eat. 11 We hear that some among you are living idle lives, refusing to work and instead becoming busybodies. 12 To such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and earn their own living.
• 1 Tim 6:1-4 : 1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their own masters as worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching are not slandered. 2 Those who have believing masters should not disregard them because they are brothers; instead, they should serve them even more, since those who benefit from their service are believers and dearly loved. Teach and encourage these things. 3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and arguments about words, which result in envy, strife, slander, and evil suspicions.

• Titus 2:1-9 : 1 As for you, speak the things that are consistent with sound teaching. 2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance. 3 Likewise, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of good things. 4 They are to encourage the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, committed to their homes, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be slandered. 6 Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7 In all things, present yourself as an example of good works, with integrity, dignity, and incorruptibility in your teaching. 8 Let your speech be sound and beyond reproach, so that any opponent may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us. 9 Slaves are to submit to their own masters in everything, aiming to be well-pleasing and not argumentative. 10 They must not pilfer but must demonstrate complete faithfulness, so that they may make the teaching of God our Savior attractive in every way.
• 1 Pet 2:10-19 : 10 Once, you were not a people, but now you are God's people. Once, you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to abstain from fleshly desires, which wage war against the soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 13 Submit yourselves to every human authority for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as those sent by him to punish evildoers and to praise those who do good. 15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. 18 Servants, submit yourselves with all respect to your masters, not only to those who are good and gentle but also to those who are harsh. 19 For this is commendable: if someone endures grief, suffering unjustly because of their conscience toward God.
