Nehemiah 6:10-14
English Standard Version (ESV)
Not everyone is working with the same set of motives. It's dangerous to assume that every person you meet will want to join your efforts in doing good in the world. Some people are out for themselves, and they're not concerned with how many people they have to trample in order to achieve these goals.
When you do business with such people, be wary, but also trust in God. Trust in the Holy Spirit to work through you, that you may be an influence. Trust in God that as you cling to your principles, God might do a work in the hearts of others through you. You can't change other people, but God can use your words and deeds to open up the lives of others to the influence of the Holy Spirit.
