12. honestly —in the Old English sense, "becomingly," as becomes your Christian profession; not bringing discredit on it in the eyes of the outer world, as if Christianity led to sloth and poverty ( Romans 13:13 ; 1 Peter 2:12 ). them . . . without —outside the Christian Church ( Mark 4:11 ). have lack of nothing —not have to beg from others for the supply of your wants (compare Mark 4:11- : ).
