耶和华见证人努力听从这些教训。举个例，有个雇主吩咐他的员工（电工）加班工作。这员工是个耶和华见证人，他婉拒了雇主的这个要求。为什么呢？因为他珍惜时间，不让世俗工作妨碍他的家庭生活和属灵活动。由于他的表现一向很好，深受信任，所以雇主尊重他的意愿。当然，凡事不常是这么顺利的，有的人也许要换个工作，才能继续过平衡的生活。然而，全心信赖耶和华的人常常发觉，他们的好行为和工作态度能够赢得雇主的好感。（箴言3：5，6）圣经说：“你们无论做什么，都要全心全意，像是为耶和华而做，不是为人而做”。（歌罗西书3：23）人如果怀有这么好的工作态度，定会是个好雇员。卢纳在《明哲保身》一书建议雇主招聘员工时，要找某些宗教团体的热心信徒。他补充说：“实际上，我们最后决定聘请的，往往是耶和华见证人。”卢纳列举了好几个理由，其中一点是，耶和华见证人是出了名诚实的，这使他们在各行各业中都“颇受青睐”。

English translation:

Jehovah’s Witnesses strive to heed those teachings. For example, when an employer invited a Witness, an electrician, to work overtime regularly, the employee in this instance declined. Why? Because he did not want his secular work to intrude on the time he devoted to his family and to spiritual matters. Since he was an excellent and trusted worker, his employer respected his wishes. Of course, things do not always turn out that way, and one may have to look for other employment in order to maintain a balanced life-style. Nevertheless, those who place their full trust in Jehovah usually find that their good conduct and work ethic earn them the favor of their employer.—Proverbs 3:5,　6. “IN CONSTANT DEMAND” “Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled as to Jehovah, and not to men,” says the Bible. (Colossians 3:23) Obviously, one whose work ethic is governed by this fine principle would be a sought-after employee. For that reason, J. J. Luna, in his book How to Be Invisible, advises potential employers to search out active members of certain religious groups, but he adds: “In actual practice we usually end up with [Jehovah’s] Witnesses.” Among the reasons he gives is that they are well-known for their honesty, and that puts them “in constant demand” in various fields.
