12so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.

12so that you will behave properly toward outsiders [exhibiting good character, personal integrity, and moral courage worthy of the respect of the outside world], and be dependent on no one and in need of nothing [be self-supporting].

12Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.

12Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won’t have to depend on anyone.
