And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; |
that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, |
and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you; |
|
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, |
To make it your ambition and definitely endeavor to live quietly and peacefully, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you, |
that you make it your ambition to be living a quiet life, that you are cultivating the habit of attending to your own private affairs, and that you are working with your hands, even as I gave you a charge, |
|
and to make it your ambition to have, in a sense, no ambition! Be busy with your own affairs and do your work yourselves, as we instructed you. |
also keep up your ambition to live quietly, to practice attending to your own business and to work with your own hands, as we directed you, |
