In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.

Finally then, brothers and sisters, we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us about how you must live and please God (as you are in fact living) that you do so more and more.

exhorting and encouraging you and insisting that you live in a way worthy of God who calls you to his own kingdom and his glory.
