Not meaning we are to close ourselves up in our homes, but that we are peaceful and quiet in a way that sets us apart from the world. Not lacking self-control so that we can lead others to the hope we have. Not being in everyone's business. Not being a gossip.

16Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.
God's word tells us not to be deceived. Therefore, it is possible to be deceived. We need to be humble and recognize that Satan seeks to deceive us all the time and none of us is above being deceived. Only by the grace of God, and knowing His Word, can we stand up to the great deceiver.
