Honestly (εὐσχημόνως)

Po. Better, seemly. From εὐ well and σχῆμα figure or fashion. The literal sense is suggested by the familiar phrase in good form. The contrast appears in ἀτάκτως disorderly, 2Th 3:6. Paul has in view the impression to be made by his readers on those outside of the church. See on Rom 13:13, and comp. 1Co 14:40.

Of nothing (μηδενὸς)

Either neuter, of nothing, or masculine, of no man. In the latter case it would refer to depending upon others for their support, which some, in view of the immediately expected parousia, were disposed to do, neglecting their own business.
