1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

9Now on the topic of brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

10And indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers and sisters in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,

11to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you.

12In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.
