Stand alone
With this one design, that people may glorify God in you, go on in his name and in the power of his might (Ephesians 6:10). Do not be ashamed even to stand alone, so long as it is in the ways of God. Let the light which is in your heart shine in all good works, both works of piety and works of mercy. And in order to enlarge your ability of doing good, renounce all superfluities. Cut off all unnecessary expense in food, in furniture, in clothing. Be a good steward of every gift of God, even of these his lowest gifts. Cut off all unnecessary expense of time, all needless or useless employments. And whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might (Ecclesiastes 9:10). In a word, be full of faith and love. Do good. Suffer evil. And in this be steadfast, immovable, yes, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).

4. With this one design, that men may glorify God in you, go on in his name, and in the power of his might. Be not ashamed, even to stand alone, so it be in the ways of God. Let the light which is in your heart, shine in all good works, both works of piety and works of mercy. And in order to enlarge your ability of doing good, renounce all superfluities. Cut off all unnecessary expence, in food, in furniture, in apparel. Be a good steward of every gift of God, even of these his lowest gifts. Cutoff all unnecessary expence of time, all needless or useless employments. And whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. In a word, be thou full of faith and love: do good: suffer evil. And herein be thou stedfast, unmoveable: yea, always abounding in the work of the Lord; forasmuch as thou knowest that thy labour is not in vain in the Lord.
