1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
9Now as to the 1love of the brothers and sisters, you 2have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are 3taught by God to love one another; 10for indeed 4you practice it toward all the brothers and sisters who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to 5excel even more, 11and to make it your ambition 6to lead a quiet life and 7attend to your own business and 8work with your hands, just as we instructed you, 12so that you will 910behave properly toward 11outsiders and 1213not be in any need.
