1 Thessalonians 4

11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Not sure if I can correctly interpret this it's human nature to not bother listen to a compelling argument if I'm not respected. It could be necessary to change the way you speak, act or live in without changing the Gospel message. 1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
