1 Thessalonians 4:10-12

But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

Sometimes I wonder how these verses fit in with II Timothy 3:12-

Yea, and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus [b]shall[/b] suffer persecution.
