1 Thes. 4:9-12 Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. [10] And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.

[11] 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, [12] so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Our actions will influence the reputation of Jesus amongst those we meet and interact with on a dialy basis - so we must learn to be good team players in our situations, able to perform our jobs well and dilegently. This is as much of a witness as the words we say about salvation, because it is these actions which open up the avenues of trust on which our friendships and witness are based!
