1 Thessalonians 4:9–12 [9] But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; [10] and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; [11] that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, [12] that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
