This is I Thessolonians 4: 11 & 12.... it has become my new favorite verse for the moment. I just learned this was Elisabeth Eliot's father's "life verse" and I like it. It speaks volumes, doesn't it?
"Do your best to live a quiet life. Learn to do your own work well. We told you about this before. By doing this, you will be respected by those who are not Christians. Then you will not be in need and others will not have to help you."
....and in Romanian also:
"Să căutaţi să trăiţi liniştiţi, să vă vedeţi de treburi, şi să lucraţi cu mînile voastre, cum v'am sfătuit. Şi astfel să vă purtaţi cuviincios cu cei de afară, şi să n'aveţi trebuinţă de nimeni."
