1 Corinthians 7:20

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

Like a bird that wanders from her nest,
So is a man who wanders from his home.

And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “Then what shall we do?”

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,

Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.
