“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with you hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.” (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, NLT)
“But if you are bitterly jealous and there is a selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom… For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and all evil of every kind.” (James 3:14-16, NLT)
